Changing the world isn't easy. It takes a whole lot of commitment, time and effort and the money to bring your dream of a better future for your community to life. At SUEZ, we're committed to investing in the local communities in which we operate and serve. The purpose of the SUEZ Community Grants Program is to identify local initiatives that will actively contribute to the sustainable well-being of Australian communities, either socially or environmentally, for the benefit of current residents and generations to come. Individual grants of up to $15,000 each are up for grabs. If you need a hand to making a real difference in your community and local environment, we encourage you to apply.
