Our 2026 Community Grants are now open
🤝 Our 2026 Community Grants are now open! We're offering up to $10,000 for projects that foster connection to boost mental wellbeing in local communities. Community groups and not-for-profits can apply.
Last year, one of those grants went to Virtual Voyagers, an award-winning program in Port Macquarie (📍2441). It pairs students from Heritage Christian School with older residents at Garden Village using VR to travel together from ancient Greece to wildlife regions around the world 🌏
Those journeys then carry into real-world projects like boat-building, mural painting, and the local art trail.
It's a simple idea doing two things at once: giving students a real role in their community, and giving older residents company, conversation, and something to look forward to each week ❤️
If your project is doing similar work, we'd love to hear from you.
