The funding is part of NIB Foundation’s Community Grants program, which partners with up to ten organisations each year to run community-focused activities. The funding will support these organisations’ initiatives for one year.

Preference will be given to programs that focus on one of the following areas:

• Wellbeing – promoting the physical fitness, nutrition, mental and social wellbeing of the community.
• Equity and access – enabling those living in regional, rural and remote areas to participate in activities that enhance their quality of life.
• Education and training – providing widespread access to resources and information to improve community awareness of health-related issues.
