Community Grants
With your help over the past two decades we have distributed over $830,000 to support our local community.
Our next community grant round opens in February 2024. Sign up to our newsletter to find out more.
In the event of a community crisis like bushfires, floods or emergencies, The Cardinia Foundation stands ready to act outside our regular granting cycle. For such cases, we understand the urgency and will swiftly evaluate grant requests. We encourage you to reach out to discuss support from the Cardinia Foundation.
