Grants at Work
Every day in our community, Foundation grants are hard at work. Because social issues don’t rest, so the work of our Community Partners doesn’t either.
The 2020-2021 financial year saw the Give Where You Live Foundation invest over $2.6 million into the Geelong community, including $1.6 million in grants alone.
Over the past year, our grants have contributed to the following outcomes:
- 531 CHILDREN supported with early years learning
