Jewish Community Security Infrastructure Program

About the program

The program aims to improve the safety of Victorian Jewish community members.

To do this, the program offers funding of up to $200,000 per project to improve security at Jewish community organisation facilities. This includes purchasing, installing or upgrading physical security infrastructure.

Improving security will provide community members with safer places to:

• celebrate and share their history and traditions
• access social and cultural opportunities
• build connections and thrive.

Funding available

• A maximum grant of up to $200,000 is available per project, per organisation.
• Organisations can request up to $20,000 for security service activities. These include security risk assessments, security-related design or planning for facilities.

Funding priorities

• Smaller Jewish community organisations and their facilities
• Jewish community facilities that currently have no, outdated or very little security infrastructure in place.

Key dates and timelines

• Applications open Thursday 9 May 2024 and will close 3.00pm Thursday 18 July 2024.
• Projects that receive a grant of $75,000 or less must be completed within 6 months.
• Projects that receive a grant of more than $75,000 must be completed within 9 months.
