ANZ & Sydney Mardi Gras
Community Grants
To extend ANZ and Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras' support and commitment to the LGBTIQ+ community, beyond the Mardi Gras festivities, we developed the ANZ & Sydney Mardi Gras Community Grants. The grants provide financial funding for a wide range of purposes including education and training, community development and creation, arts and culture – anything under the rainbow.
Grants of $2,500, $5,000, $7,500 or $10,000 were awarded to LGBTIQ+ not-for-profit community organisations, charities and individuals to help support Australian LGBTIQ+ communities.
12 recipients were awarded Grants for the 2019 program.
The 2020 ANZ & Mardi Gras Grants will be back towards the middle of this year.
ANZ’s partnership with Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of the many ways we demonstrate the importance we place on diversity in the workplace.
Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras provides the opportunity for LGBTIQ+ individuals and groups to celebrate through events which promote a global message of diversity and inclusion. In a similar way, ANZ supports our people to do their best and we aim to build a culture where the talents, experience and perspectives of all our people are valued, regardless of their gender, race, age or sexual orientation.
