Need support for a project in your community?

The OneFortyOne Community Grants Program

Communities are flexible, and so is our grant program. If your community group is located in Australia (from an area where we operate), you can approach us directly for grants of up to $5,000 via the online application portal. We accept applications all year round.

In Australia, we operate in the Green Triangle region, an area that spans across South East South Australia and Western Victoria. We review applications seasonally according to the South East Seasonal Calendar, approximately every two months.

In New Zealand:

Update September 2025: The OneFortyOne community grants programme in New Zealand has paused for the short term. Like many organisations across our region, we have been significantly impacted by the Nelson Tasman storms.

These events have created substantial financial pressures that require us to take a more conservative approach to our operations while we work through this difficult period.

Taking this pause allows us to focus on strengthening our organisation’s foundation and ensuring we can continue to operate sustainably in the long term.

We’re incredibly proud of the positive impact our grants have had across the community, and we remain committed to resuming this programme when we are in a stronger financial position.

We’re appreciate your understanding, support, and trust during this challenging time.

OneFortyOne acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their deep connections to land, water, and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all First Nations people today.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori communities have a strong spiritual connection between people and the land – the wellbeing of one sustains the wellbeing of the other. We strive to build meaningful relationships with iwi as tangata whenua (people of the land/region), to be responsible intergenerational kaitiaki (stewards/guardians) of the land where our forests grow.
