A record number of community organisations are to receive the funding as part of the Bupa Foundation’s 2025 Community Grants program.
Sixty-five community organisations from across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) will share in over $600,000 in funding that will support local programs with a focus on mental health and sustainability.
This year’s grants are part of the Bupa Foundation’s ongoing commitment to local communities, which has seen more than $2.5 million in funding provided to grassroots organisations across ANZ since 2019.
Roger Sharp, Bupa Asia Pacific’s Chief Sustainability & Corporate Affairs Officer, said the Community Grants Program’s sole purpose is to support community groups to deliver practical initiatives that benefit the health of local communities.
“When you combine funding and resources with the passion and knowledge of local community groups, the impact can be incredible. That’s why supporting local communities through these grants and volunteering opportunities continues to be so important to Bupa,” Sharp said. “I look forward to following the progress of these projects over the coming years, as they contribute to creating healthier communities.”
Along with the Community Grants Program, the Bupa Foundation supports a range of major initiatives across ANZ through major partnerships with organisations such as Kids Helpline, Black Dog Institute, Australian Kookaburra Kids Foundation, Brien Holden Foundation, the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO) and New Zealand Landcare Trust.
