Thrive Community Grants - 2024

Each year, Thrive Community Grants provide smaller, local charities with one-off grants of up to $50,000 to assist children and young people to connect with friends, family and the community, participate in activities that build resilience, develop new skills, enrich lives, and create a sense of belonging. Our support is focussed on children and young people experiencing discrimination and disadvantage.

We invest in charities that support the direct involvement of children and young people to:

• Foster individual learning and interests through education, training or skills development
• Develop independence, engage in society and join the workforce
• Create connections and build relationships with others
• Feel they belong to a wider community, social or cultural group
• Build resilience, self-awareness and confidence
• Have the practical things they need to participate and develop as active members of the community
• Have a positive sense of identity and culture
• Have a say about things that matter to them
