Deadline: 26-Jun-2020
Applications are now open for the Sunsuper’s community grants program, it is here to give you the leg up, a helping hand to make your dream a reality.
There are three rounds for community grants and each round has a different theme.
- Round 1: Better Living
- They are looking for dreams that improve the lives or living standards of other Australians. It may be a community project to help rebuild after a natural disaster, create more affordable housing or help our ageing population or new-comers to Australia. Or your dream may help kids and families in need or simply create a better environment for a more sustainable world. Dream big and tell us how your not-for-profit organisation can help others live better.
- Round 2: Brighter Futures
- Does your dream empower others to learn and earn to have a brighter future? Tell them if you need funding for education initiatives or to create jobs for those in need, or improve financial wellbeing and affordability for Australians. They are also looking for dreams that enhance employment opportunities, or offer training and support to those who need a helping hand to get into or back to work.
- Round 3: Active Community
- Let’s create active and healthy communities across Australia. If you’re looking for sports grants to help people of all ages and abilities be more active, or to improve the health and fitness of those in your community, apply for our Active Community grant. Or if you have a dream to create more active communities through health initiatives, wellbeing programs or by tackling medical issues faced by the wider community we also want to hear from you.
