- Grants of up to $10,000 available for charities and not-for-profit community organisations
- Supporting initiatives that make a positive impact on people and the environment in the South West Interconnected System
Charity and not-for-profit community organisations are encouraged to apply for Synergy's Community Giving Fund.
The aim of the fund is to support organisations that make a positive impact on people and the environment in Synergy's area of operation - the South West Interconnected System.
Applications are now open, with grants of up to $10,000 available.
The Community Giving Fund supports initiatives that align with Synergy's four key themes - inclusivity and empowerment, environment for the future, committed to communities and energy leadership.
The fund was launched last year with almost $70,000 distributed to eight recipients, including the Dismantle BikeRescue Program in Mullewa/City of Greater Geraldton and Dress for Success Perth.

As stated by Energy Minister Bill Johnston:
"The Community Giving Fund provides funding and support for initiatives that address a need in the community.
"Synergy has an important role to play in ensuring an inclusive, greater connected and sustainable future, particularly for those communities impacted by the transition to renewable energy.
"Last year's inaugural Community Giving Fund was a huge success. The grants delivered tangible outcomes, such as providing paddle boards so that people on the autism spectrum can gain confidence through surfing.
"I encourage eligible community groups to consider applying for this year's round."
