The inGrained Foundation has announced a $200,000 funding pool for the 2023 Northern Rivers Large Grants Program, opening this April.

Now in its fifth year of operations, the Foundation is looking to support local organisations who are doing incredible work among their communities when applications for grants open on Tuesday, 4 April 2023.

The program is open to not-for-profits with DGR status and grants will range between $5,000 and $30,000.

With the aim of addressing a broad spectrum of challenges experienced within these communities, inGrained are seeking to support projects that fall into the following categories:

  • Conservation of natural resources and habitat
  • Action on climate change
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Accommodation and homelessnes
  • Inclusion and diversity

Founded as a separate not-for-profit by Stone & Wood Brewing Co (Fermentum Group) in 2018, the inGrained Foundation works to attract, generate and direct donations to grassroots charities.

In 2022, the Foundation donated an unprecedented amount to the Northern Rivers community, with over $350,000 provided via last year’s Grants program and local flood relief efforts.

Open soon to not-for-profits with DGR status, applicants are encouraged to read the guidelines and submit before Friday 28 April, by visitingwww.ingrainedfoundation.com.au
