What is the Ignite Pride Fund all about?
The Ignite Pride Fund is our small grants program, with applications open between September and October. We offer grants of up to $10k for projects focused on supporting the most marginalised of the NSW LGBTIQ+ community, and in recent years thanks to our amazing friends in Pride Foundation Australia and SpencerMaurice, we have been able to offer an additional two grants of up to $20k- one to an organisation anywhere in Australia focusing on mental health and the other to an organisation in rural or regional NSW.
We encourage all past grantee partners to apply for an Ignite Pride small grant, particularly if your project is ongoing.
Our Commitment to the LGBTIQ+ Community
We understand the challenges that many projects supporting the LGBTIQ+ community encounter when seeking financial support. The Aurora Group, in partnership with Pride Foundation Australia, and SpencerMaurice, is proud to step up and bridge the gap. We firmly believe in the transformative power of grassroots initiatives and their ability to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
Ignite Pride Grants: Fostering Change, One Project at a Time
Our Ignite Pride Grants are tailored to provide a lifeline to these essential initiatives. Designed to fund small, community-driven projects, these grants are a testament to our unwavering commitment to:
Empowerment: We empower those on the frontlines—individuals, organisations, and community groups—to bring their visions to life.
Visibility: We champion projects that amplify the voices and stories of the LGBTIQ+ community, fostering greater awareness and understanding.
Well-being: We support initiatives that improve mental health, ageing support, social support, education services, and other areas where funding opportunities are limited.
Join Us in Making a Difference
The Aurora Group stands at the forefront of change, guided by the belief that collective action can bring about lasting impact. We invite you to explore the opportunities offered by Ignite Pride Grants and join us in supporting these, and many more projects.
We are proud to support the projects that drive change, transform lives, and ignite pride within the LGBTIQ+ community.

Once again, our most recent round of Ignite Pride grants has been boosted thanks to our partnerships with Pride Foundation Australia and SpencerMaurice, which have enabled us to deliver additional targeted grants focused on mental health, and regional LGBTIQ+ communities.
