Each year we provide approximately $1.5 million in grant funding to important community projects, initiatives and endeavours that make a significant difference to the lives of disadvantaged, marginalised and isolated people in regional communities in NSW. 

To better empower our charitable partners to drive meaningful and sustainable impact in our communities, now and into the future, we’re making some exciting changes to our grant giving approach.

We look forward to sharing our new approach to giving with you in 2025.
