The city's Jewish museum will get '27,000 and the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah education trust '24,000 to increase cultural awareness of minority ethnic groups.
The Indian senior citizens' centre will get '15,000 to help members of its community claim their rights.
The money is part of a package announced by Manchester city council for 2003-04 that is actually '200,000 less in real terms than last year.
Some groups who previously benefited no longer fit funding criteria or have found cash from elsewhere, claims the council.
They include The Big Life Company, a programme to get homeless people back into mainstream life. The grant is halved to '10,200. The Lifeline Project, which gives information on drug and alcohol misuse to young people, suffers a similar cut. Tweet
