Who is eligible for a grant?
- Non-profit organisations that hold an approved deductible gift recipient (DGR) status charity (Item 1) from the Australian Tax Office. If you are unsure of your organisation’s tax status, check with your financial advisor and the Australian Government’s ABN Lookup website.
- The Aurizon Community Giving Fund is focused on the broad areas of health and wellbeing, community safety, environment and education. All applications for our Community Giving Fund grant must fit within at least one of these funding categories to be eligible for consideration.
