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.
$1.2 million is available in Community Grants 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
- Equipment and infrastructure: Tools, equipment and infrastructure improvements that help communities withstand natural disasters or recover in their aftermath
Round 2 opened on 17 August, and will close on 14 September, with funding awarded in December 2028.
