Community Governance & Leadership Capacity Programme
Supporting migrant-led and grassroots organisations to build strong foundations
Prima Nota provides community-focused governance and leadership capacity-building support to migrant-led and grassroots organisations.
This programme is delivered on a modest cost-recovery basis. Contributions are structured below commercial market rates and are intended to partially offset delivery and administrative costs. Any surplus income is reinvested into Prima Nota’s charitable programmes.
This programme advances Prima Nota’s charitable objectives by:
- Strengthening governance literacy within migrant and CALD communities
- Improving organisational sustainability and transparency
- Supporting community-led initiatives to operate responsibly and confidently
- Enhancing readiness for participation in local civic and funding systems
Strong governance is essential for sustainable and accountable community organisations.
