Helping communities connect

Providing support to game changers on the ground

There are lots of Aussie charities, businesses, and organisations who are doing great work for the communities they care about. We believe the best way to support these causes is to make sure they can stay connected with the people they serve.

Enabling your great work

We believe in thinking big, but sometimes that means starting small. We know first-hand that empowering your local community group could have the biggest impact on your life, and the lives of individuals across Australia.

We offer a select number of monetary grants every year to amplify the positive impact community groups could have, so they continue being awesome.

By doing this, we aim to:

  • Deliver projects that have ongoing benefit for communities all around Australia.

  • Increase opportunities for people, whether it be socially, physically, financially or the improvement of general mental health and wellbeing.

  • Be good to people.
