 The Australia-Japan Foundation is Australia's oldest cultural council. Established by the Australian government in 1976, the AJF aims to deepen and strengthen relations between Australia and Japan by fostering greater mutual awareness and understanding. Strong people-to-people ties are the foundation for the economic and security partnership between Australia and Japan and one of the ways we support enduring bilateral ties is through the annual AJF grants program. We provide grants to projects aligned with our strategic priority areas and which relate to our cross-cutting of things. We encourage all of you, whether individuals or organisations, who have a link with Japan or would like one, to apply. Before starting an application, read the grant guidelines to understand eligibility and application requirements.
