Melbourne Airport is committed to supporting its local communities

Our Community Giving Fund provides the chance for communities to apply for funding for projects that support community needs. The Fund is designed to help communities, arts, sports or service groups with any number of initiatives and projects. These may include uniforms for sporting clubs, supplies for art exhibitions or community events, upgrades to a social enterprise or contributions to community kitchens, libraries or gardens. All projects that support groups with their local communities will be considered.

Applications to the Fund are open to communities surrounding Melbourne Airport, with up to $4,000 available for projects and initiatives. Details on how to apply can be found below.
