Apply now for the Ergon-Energex Community Fund

Could your community group do with $10,000 this year?

The Ergon-Energex Community Fund is now open for applications for not-for-profit groups across Queensland.

Ergon Energy Network and Energex are looking for initiatives that will make a lasting difference in local communities, including projects with a focus on opportunities around renewable energy and sustainability, like solar, battery storage and energy literacy.

Chief Customer Officer of Ergon Energy and Energex, Michael Dart, believes this year’s fund will give back to communities at a time it’s needed most.

“We understand that Queenslanders could do with a bit of extra support in the current economic conditions faced by many communities, to see their organisation’s dreams come to life.

“We’re encouraging all eligible not-for-profit groups to apply so they can get a bit of relief to keep their communities thriving.

“This year, more than ever, we know the transition into renewable energy is at front of mind to bring down electricity cost pressures and impacts to the environment. We hope to see community groups reach out for support in the areas of renewable and sustainable energy solutions for their areas to support this.”

You can apply online until close of business on Friday 29 November.
