OneFortyOne believe in regional communities and are committed to supporting the sustainable prosperity of the places where it operates.

If your community group is from an area where OneFortyOne operates, you can approach them directly for grants of up to $5,000.

They accept applications all year round and review applications as they are received.

In Australia OneFortyOne operates in the Green Triangle region, an area that spans across South East South Australia and Western Victoria.

A grant application can demonstrate meeting one or more PINE objectives.

Through this objective we will support education institutions, teachers and students to implement initiatives that will help students thrive. Examples of initiatives include student resources, support for student wellbeing, school gardens and educational resources.
