What to consider when applying

How much can I apply for?

Applications can be made for one-off cash grants and donations of up to $10,000 or in-kind support (such as transportation, advertising space and volunteering support from our passionate people) to assist with events, activities or programs.

What are Kinetic's priority areas?

To improve the livelihoods of the communities in which we live and operate, Kinetic prioritises support for programs in the following areas.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
Cultural and racial diversity (CALD)
Disability and accessibility
Education and health

What support can I apply for?

We understand that the needs of each organisation are unique. Sometimes help may be sought for one-off projects that simply need some financial support. For example, new uniforms for the team, or installing new all-gender change rooms at a community sporting facility.

Sometimes community groups run an annual program and are looking for support to transport remote or disadvantaged community members to a regular event or gathering.

When you fill out the application ensure you let us know how we can best work with you and your community.
