Australia: Foster’s launches Community Grants

Foster’s announced on March 1 that a new initiative of the Foster’s in the Community Program comes to life today with the launch of Foster’s Community Grants.

Advised by a committee headed by retired General Peter Cosgrove AC, MC, Foster’s will award grants to community building projects in the fields of wellness, culture and the environment. Applications are open to charities and genuine not-for-profit organisations in Australia and North America.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Foster’s to make a lasting difference in communities across Australia and North America”, said Foster’s Group President & CEO, Trevor O’Hoy. “We look forward to extending the Grants program to other Foster’s locations around the world and welcoming an external Committee member from North America in the coming weeks.”
The Grants Advisory Committee also includes Dr Betty Churcher AO, Prof Kwong Lee Dow AO, Mr Andrew Gaze AM and Mr Greg Nance.

“Foster’s has a proud history of contributing to the community,” Mr O’Hoy said. “Foster’s Community Grants are a great addition to our growing program of community support activities.”
Eligible charities and not for profit organisations are encouraged to review the granting criteria, process information and terms and conditions at: www.fosterscommunitygrants.com
