New England Community Investment Program
Origin has proudly supported communities across NSW through community investment programs for more than a decade.
Origin's community investment targets four focus areas - community wellbeing, community resilience, economic development and the environment.
Origin would like to support local communities in the New England during the planning phases of the Skye Ridge Wind Farm, Northern Tablelands Wind Farm and Salisbury Solar Farm projects, collectively through the New England Community Investment Program.
Applications will be invited twice yearly for up to $5,000 in support for smaller events or activities that align to one or more of the community investment priorities.
Funding between $5,000 and $15,000 is also available for larger events or activities that lead to measurable community outcomes within the Walcha, Uralla, Armidale and Tamworth Local Government areas.
Priority will be given to projects that are sustainable over the long term and that deliver an enduring community benefit beyond the funding period.
Please read the New England Community Investment Program Guidelines carefully before making an application. The guidelines cover Origin’s investment focus areas in more detail, eligibility (including activities we won’t support) and how applications will be assessed.
If you have any questions or need assistance to apply, drop into either the Walcha or Armidale office, email us at newengland@origin.com.au or call 1800 677 315.
