Helping charities and not-for-profits to achieve their goals.

Synergy’s annual Community Giving Fund provides grants of up to $10,000 for initiatives that deliver positive outcomes for people and the environment across our four key themes; committed to community, environment for the future, inclusivity and empowerment, and energy leadership. 

In 2023, we awarded grants to eight not-for-profit, community and charitable organisations across the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).

Our grants will help to deliver a range of initiatives from providing essential items to regional families in crisis, replanting a threatened ecological community in the Wheatbelt, to enabling greater social inclusion for people with a disability. 

We are proud to support these hardworking, mostly small to medium-sized charities delivering practical and meaningful initiatives that make a difference where it is needed most. 

Applications for next year’s grants will open mid-2024.
