What the program funds

The NSW Government is supporting the primary prevention of domestic, family, and sexual violence (DFSV) at the local level through annual grants to communities across the state. The 16 Days of Activism Grant Program supports Local Domestic and Family Violence Committees and Local Domestic Violence Networks across NSW to run initiatives that encourage communities to take action to prevent domestic, family and sexual violence.

How to apply

Applications for 16 Days of Activism 2026 are made through Department of Communities and Justice, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
