At Jemena, we believe in the power of community-led initiatives to create lasting, positive change. Our Community Grants Program supports organisations that are making a real difference in the lives of people across the regions we serve.

We are pleased to open the second round of our grants program for 2025, aimed at addressing disadvantage in the communities where we operate and our customers live and work. 

We're inviting applications for grants of up to $10,000 from community groups, not-for-profit organisations, schools and charities who are making a difference.

In 2025, we are looking to support:

• support services for people experiencing disadvantage (for example, food programs)
• social enterprises and capacity-building initiatives
• inclusive education, training, or employment programs
• projects tackling isolation or improving accessibility.

Scroll down to find out more about where your initiative needs to be located and other eligibility requirements, terms and conditions, and previous recipients, including organisations funded through our first 2025 grants round, focusing on First Nations initiatives. 

How to apply for a Community Grant

Before you apply for a Community Grant please read the below Community Grants Guidelines carefully.

If your organisation and activity meets all criteria and you agree to the Terms and Conditions, complete an application form and submit it to community@jemena.com.au.

We don’t accept applications by post. 

The application form asks questions about the nature of your project, program or initiative, along with how it aligns with the grants categories and focus areas listed above and how the funds will be used. A good application will clearly state how the organisation, project, program or initiative will address, deliver on and measure its benefits for communities.
