Programs
Six programs carry the mission between celebrations. Each one is open to new communities, partners, and volunteers.
A designer-led runway evening pairing traditional and contemporary dress, with proceeds funding the grant round. Hosted annually and licensed to partner cities.
A one-day intensive on public speaking, cultural confidence, and organising. Participants leave with a project plan and a mentor.
Free, teacher-reviewed lesson plans on the history and significance of the bindi, plus visiting speakers for classrooms and student groups.
Small grants and six months of mentoring for women building cultural businesses — textiles, jewellery, catering, arts instruction.
Seed funding and a complete event toolkit for anyone hosting World Bindi Day where they live. Apply once, host every year.
Recorded first-person stories from women across generations, preserved and published openly for researchers, teachers, and families.

Community hosts receive the event toolkit, print-ready design files, a run-of-show template, speaker notes, and a named contact on our team from planning through to reporting.
Applications open twice a year. No prior event experience is required — most of our hosts started with their first.
Corporate and family sponsorships fund a full workshop cohort, a grant round, or a city celebration.
Event invitations, stories from the community, and ways to take part.
