A
record 25 community organisations across metropolitan and regional Western Australia
will receive grants of up to $10,000 as part of Synergy's 2026 Community Giving
Fund.
The grants support
community initiatives across the area where Synergy operates, including the Mid
West, Goldfields-Esperance, South West, Peel and Perth regions.
The successful projects are
supporting community programs ranging from mental health and wellbeing, support
for vulnerable families and young people, disability and LGBTQIA+ inclusion, Aboriginal
engagement, emergency preparedness, environmental conservation and community
connection.
In addition to grant
funding, several community organisations will receive refurbished laptops which
they identified as necessary to support the delivery of community programs and
services.
These additional
donations have enabled Synergy to support a record number of organisations
through this year's Community Giving Fund, while extending the life of
technology and reducing electronic waste.
Since launching in 2022,
Synergy's Community Giving Fund has supported not-for-profit organisations,
registered charities and social enterprises delivering projects that create
lasting social and environmental benefits in communities where Synergy operates.
