Applications are now open for cash grants of up to $20,000 from Australia's largest rail-based transport business, Aurizon.
All eligible non-profit and charity groups with projects based on safety, education, environment or health and wellbeing are encouraged to apply for the latest round of grants offered through Aurizon's Community Giving Fund.
Aurizon Managing Director and CEO Lance Hockridge says the Community Giving Fund provides a helping hand to the local charities and community groups where the Company's employees and operations reside.
"Through our grants we have been able to make a real difference for many community groups who are seeking to make improvements to their services or to get a community project off the ground.
"We want to give back to the communities that support our business and our people, and we want to see projects and initiatives that benefit our local communities succeed."
Over 180 community groups across Australia have received cash grants through Aurizon's Community Giving Fund to support local projects since its inception four years ago.
Applications for the Community Giving Fund close at 5pm AEDST Friday 23 October 2015.
