The Moving Communities Fund is Kinetic’s community grant program helping us to deliver our mission – to improve the livelihoods of the communities in which we live and operate.

Under our approach to community engagement, Kinetic supports organisations and initiatives that:

• are complementary of our mission, values and sustainability goals
• seek to support youth and disadvantaged groups in communities in which we operate 
• promote equity, diversity and inclusion
• are community-based (and non-political or religious organisations), and
• highlight important social and community issues.

In considering applications, we also look to see if applicants complement our existing community activities and partnerships.

The Kinetic Moving Communities Fund provides for both cash and in-kind donations and support.

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 fund events, activities or programs.

Please note Kinetic may request additional documentation for grant requests over $5,000. The final amount or in-kind support awarded to a successful applicant may vary from the amount originally requested in an application. Successful applicants of grants or donations must spend or use the final amount within 12 months.

As part of our assessment process, we may reach out with any questions about your application – so please remember to include contact information.

If your application is successful, please note you will be required to complete an agreement in line with our Terms and Conditions.

Please note that due to the volume of applications, we may not provide individualised feedback for unsuccessful applicants.
