Community Grants Program

As part of its commitment to make a positive contribution to the local community, Tasmanian Gas Pipeline established the Community Grants Program.

The program provides funding each year (grants up to $5,000) for local initiatives that offer clear public benefit for the community. Charitable and Not-for-profit organisations can apply for projects and activities contributing to at least one of the following areas:

  • Community Diversity: Support for projects that encourage communities to connect and be inclusive of gender, cultures, age groups, nationalities and abilities. This includes events that celebrate culture and traditions, projects that aim to improve multicultural infrastructure, provide support for disadvantaged groups, achieve gender equality, or initiatives that seek to address social isolation and improve access and opportunity for everyone.
  • Sustainability and Environment: Support for projects that seek to build or enhance community sustainability or the local environment, in particular through the use of renewables, the reduction of waste or via protection of the environment. This includes solar panel installation, recycling at events, school education programs, community gardens and environmental preservation programs.
  • Health and Wellbeing: Support for projects that seek to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community. This may include physical or mental health programs, initiatives that aim to improve sports participation and access, sporting facility upgrades and education programs.
  • Community Participation and Pride: Support for projects that encourage greater community participation and/or seek to recognise and celebrate the unique attributes of the region. This includes community volunteering initiatives, playground / public space enhancements, community festivals and events and local heritage preservation.

The 2025 Community Grants program will open on Monday September 1 and will close on Wednesday October 8. Applications can be submitted using this link.  Please follow our Facebook page for more information.
