Australian communities are being hit harder by natural disasters more often. It takes many hands to get communities back up and running after a disaster and to build resilience for the next one.
That’s why the NAB Foundation Community Grants program provides funding of up to $25,000 for local projects that help communities withstand and recover from natural disasters.
We award $1.2 million in Community Grants each year across two grant rounds, including $200,000 available in Impact Grants for projects with big potential. These Impact Grants provide a further $25,000 to recipients to maximise the impact they have on their communities.
NAB Foundation Community Grants support community-led projects that relate to the following categories:
Training and Planning - Educational workshops, practical and strategic planning that help communities prepare for a natural disaster.
Community Recovery - Programs to enhance community connection, resilience and wellbeing post natural disaster.
Environment and Wildlife - Restoration of damaged vegetation and habitat, and rehabilitation of injured wildlife.
