APPLICATIONS FOR NUTRIEN AG SOLUTIONS’ COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM ARE NOW OPEN FOR 2025.
REGIONAL COMMUNITIES SET TO BENEFIT AS NUTRIEN AG SOLUTIONS’ COMMUNITY GRANTS PROGRAM RETURNS FOR 2025.
Nutrien Ag Solutions, in partnership with the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), invites eligible not -for-profit organisations to apply for a grant of up to $5,000 to support local community projects across remote, rural and regional Australia.
Since its launch in 2021, the Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program has provided over $1 million in funding to grassroots initiatives that support regional communities.
Jacqueline Webb, Community Investment Manager at Nutrien Ag Solutions, said the program reflects Nutrien’s long-standing commitment to investing in the communities where their people and customers live and work.
“This program is about supporting the heart of our regional communities – the local projects and initiatives that make these towns great places to live and work,” Ms Webb said.
“Over the past four years, we’ve backed more that 200 community-led projects, helping to upgrade facilities, deliver services and create opportunities that directly benefit rural and regional Australians.
“As a major employer and partner in hundreds of communities, we understand the importance of contributing to a safe, successful and sustainable future for regional Australia,” Ms Webb added.
Jill Karena, FRRR’s Head of Granting, said the Foundation knows how important it is to support and empower communities to identify and deliver the services and activities that are most needed by locals.
“Thanks to partners like Nutrien Ag Solutions, who have people on the ground in the community, we can ensure local priorities are heard and supported,” Ms Karena said.
“In the past four years, we’ve seen the big impact that these small grants can have. For example, the community of Padthaway, in South Australia, used a grant to purchase a display fridge for a community run local store, improving food security. The Program has also funded capacity-building projects for community services, such as Bowen Flexi Care in Queensland, who purchased a generator with their grants, so that they can provide continuous patient care during power outages. It’s also supported events that foster community wellbeing, like the Dimboola Steampunk Festival in Victoria, where a grant helped fund the festival entranceway and street decorations.”
“Rural and regional communities are wonderful places to live, work and play and these grants offer a great opportunity to foster community wellbeing and the ongoing success and vibrancy of regional Australia. I’m excited to see what comes forward this year,” Ms Karena said
Application for the 2025 Nutrien Ag Solutions Community Grants Program close on Thursday, 15 July 2025.
