Community Giving Fund applications are now open!
At Synergy, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the communities where we operate. Aligned with our Social Value framework, our annual Community Giving Fund aims to support community organisations creating resilient, prosperous communities.
The Community Giving Fund provides grants of up to $10,000 to successful applicants to support initiatives that deliver positive outcomes for the communities where we live and work, in the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).
How our grants make a difference
Our grants help to deliver a range of community initiatives, from providing essential items to regional families in crisis and replanting a threatened ecological community in the Wheatbelt, to enabling greater social inclusion for people with a disability.
We are proud to support hard working community organisations delivering practical and meaningful initiatives that make a difference where it is needed most.
Applications open now
Applications for the Community Giving Fund open on 19 August 2024 and close on 23 September 2024.
