Intercultural Understanding Partnership (ICUP) Grants

The Intercultural Understanding Partnership (ICUP) is a national initiative created by Together For Humanity (TFH) and funded by the Australian Government. We partner with the Jewish Christian Muslim Association (JCMA) in Victoria and The Abraham Institute in South Australia to support ICUP projects.

Each year, schools are invited to apply for the program. Successful schools receive consultation time with TFH intercultural experts and financial support (up to $10,000) to address an intercultural and/or interfaith challenge in their school community and improve the learning and wellbeing of students.

We believe that working together is more effective than working in isolation – good partnerships create benefits for all partners. We value partnerships where we work collaboratively towards a common goal.

For more information, see ICUP FAQs.

If preferred, an application can be completed using either a PDF or Word document copy of the form, and emailed to ICUP@togetherforhumanity.org.au
