Applications for Kinetic’s Moving Communities Fund still open

Kinetic aims to give back to the communities where it operates

Applications for Kinetic’s Moving Communities Fund, which support community organisations, not-for-profits and other initiatives, will close on Wednesday October 9 2024.

The grants aim to improve the livelihoods of communities where Kinetic operates, offering funds to support the improvement of facilities, fund initiatives and more.

Kinetic Group CEO Michael Sewards says the grants program was a natural progression in Kinetic’s efforts to support local communities and organisations.

“We are incredibly privileged to be in a position to support the outstanding work being done by community groups and this fund is all about increasing that positive impact,” Sewards says

“Moving Communities will ensure we can also amplify and enhance the great work being done at a grass-roots level by local sporting clubs, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations.

“We have long term partnerships with fantastic organisations such as Foodbank, the Gold Coast Titans and most recently Western Chances.”

Kinetic’s head of sustainability and community engagement Angela Leung says the fund is a direct way to support more local organisations and initiatives that share the company’s values and sustainability aspirations.

“Our team members all around the country are proud of the role they play in the community, and this fund is another way we can improve livelihoods in the places we operate,” Leung says.

“People rely on our bus services and they for an important part of the social fabric in towns and cities and with that comes a responsibility and we think opportunity to contribute to bettering communities.

“We want to hear from as many community groups as possible about the fantastic work they are doing and how we can support them in achieving their goals – whether that’s $1,000 to help a sporting team with travel or a larger sum to improve facilities to make them more accessible.”
