Community Support Program

Great news, Canberra: all funds from the 2026–27 sponsorship round have now been allocated and we’re pleased to announce that 25 organisations will receive support. You can view the full list here.

Applications open each year from 1 March to 30 April. We are grateful for the strong response to this round and look forward to working with community partners for another exciting year.

Our commitment to community
Social responsibility is central to who we are. Through the Community Support Program (CSP), we partner with local community, cultural, educational, sporting and fundraising initiatives that contribute to the cultural and social development of the ACT and surrounding region.

These partnerships also support our ongoing commitment to building water and wastewater literacy across the region.

Who the program supports
The CSP is designed to maximise positive outcomes for the community while also delivering meaningful benefits for our organisation. It provides financial and in-kind assistance to:

• organisations that deliver valuable community support services or programs
• community activities that encourage access, inclusion and participation.

Supporting the Canberra region
In 2026–27, we will proudly continue our commitment to supporting the Canberra region. The core elements of the CSP are: “we are nurturing”, “we value you” and “we care”. We aim to build on these elements in partnership with local sectors and communities.
This year, our sponsorship categories are:

• Community inclusion and disability
• Health and wellbeing
• Liveability and inclusion
• Affiliated industry, environment and sustainability
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander initiatives
• Community sports

The program runs annually in line with the financial year. Multi-year sponsorship packages may also be considered.
