“Since the launch of the Community Grants program in 2021, Nutrien has supported 110 projects by awarding over $500,000 in grants to rural and regional communities across Australia,” Nutrien Ag Solutions corporate affairs coordinator Mady Muirhead said.
“The success of agriculture and the wellbeing of regional Australia are inextricably linked,” she said.
“We’re proud to play a leading role in helping to build a safe and sustainable future for our farmers and their communities.
“We are going further by investing in meaningful projects and supporting local grassroot organisations.
“Last year we saw many parts of our country face environmental disasters on a significant scale, with many still facing recovery.
“This placed significant unanticipated stress on grassroots organisations and groups that work tirelessly to support their local communities.
“Nutrien Ag Solutions is so proud to provide a much-needed boost to the rural and regional communities we are a part of.”
The Community Grants program has supported more than 100 local projects over the past two years.
The Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants program is run in partnership with the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal.
Applications for the 2023 Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program are open now and close on August 10, with successful applicants announced in October.
An online webinar will be held to support grant seekers from 12.30pm to 1.30pm on Monday, July 24. Sign up here: https://events.humanitix.com/copy-of-nutrien-ag-solutions-communitygrants-program-grant-seeker-workshop
