Pride Events and Festivals Fund (PEFF) supports LGBTIQA+ community events and festivals that build social connections, strengthen community networks and participation, and ensure Victoria leads the way in celebrating LGBTIQA+ culture.
Larger events and festivals can apply for grants of up to $25,000, while smaller events and festivals can apply for grants of up to $10,000, with a total funding pool of $400,000 available.
Since the program began in 2018, PEFF has supported over 240 rainbow events and festivities across Victoria.
These events play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community, promoting acceptance and understanding, and combatting discrimination and prejudice.
The Victorian Government is proud to fund this program as part of its broader efforts to embed equality in Victoria through our 10-year LGBTIQA+ strategy, Pride in our Future: Victoria’s LGBTIQA+ strategy 2022-32.
Applications are now open and close at 5pm on Tuesday, 26 August 2025.
