Annual Grant Round NOW OPEN!

The Give Where You Live Foundation is excited to announce its Annual Grant Round is now open.

Helping to create a fairer community across the Geelong region, grants of up to $20,000 are on offer to support people in our community, with a focus on two of the Foundation’s key areas of Food Security and Homelessness Assistance.

The Foundation will prioritise grant funding for organisations and/or initiatives that are assisting our G21 community through:

  • Emergency relief and meeting urgent needs – addressing gaps in social safety net services and supports and providing increased choice, diversity and access to food relief, food security and/or homelessness assistance.
  • Collaboration and coordination – strengthening a joined-up approach to the food relief, food security and/or homelessness assistance sector(s) services and supports (collaborative/consortia
    applications are encouraged).
  • Prevention efforts – organisations, initiatives (including referral pathways) designed to increase connection, circles of support and capability for an individual and/or families at high risk of becoming food insecure and/or homeless.

The impact of these grants will help provide much needed support to food relief and homelessness support agencies across the Geelong region.

These grants are made possible thanks to our generous donors, corporate partners, thousands of workplace givers and other supporters and we thank them for helping the Foundation to create a fairer G21 region.

Grant guidelines and application form are available here

Grant round closes 5pm, Friday 21 March 2025.
