Any funding gap, between total venue hire costs and total grant amount offered, will need to be paid by the applicant organisation.
No matched funding is required for using not-for-profit community facilities.
Many available venues are publicly owned and operated by local councils or the state government. Multicultural community organisations and not-for-profit organisations also often make their venues available for community hire.
For the Large stream, hiring private, commercial, or for-profit venues such as hotels, restaurants or private event facilities will require 50% matched funding from the applicant.
This means that for every $1 applied for, $1 must be provided as matched funding by the applicant Chinese community organisation.
Applicants that wish to hire a for-profit venue must include evidence of their ability to pay the matched funding.
Matched funding example (Large stream only)
Single hall hire – Private or commercial facilities
- Matched Funding required: $1: $1 (50% grant: 50% matched funding)
- Minimum of one dollar from your organisation for every one dollar of government funding.
- For example, if the CCHH grants you $2,500 for a one-off hire of a private or commercial venue, you will need to match this contribution with $2,500.
- In-kind contributions are not eligible for consideration as part of your matched funding contribution.
