We believe in regional communities and are committed to supporting the sustainable prosperity of the places where we live and work.
Communities are flexible, and so is our grant program.
We invite community members, groups and organisations from areas where we operate to approach us directly for support for grants up to $5,000 via the online application portal. We accept applications all year round and review applications as they are received.
In Australia we operate in the Green Triangle region, an area that covers both South Australia and Victoria. In New Zealand we are work in the Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough regions, located at the top of the South Island.
OneFortyOne supports the communities, services, activities, and environment that make our regions vibrant and healthy.
A grant application can demonstrate meeting one or more PINE objectives.
This objective supports the people, services and activities that make our regions vibrant, healthy and safe. The types of initiatives this covers includes health and wellbeing, community networks, events and sporting activities.
This objective supports the development of regionally based ideas that build the liability, sustainability, and prosperity of our regions. We want to support creative ideas, innovation, and talent. The types of initiatives that would meet this objective include arts festivals, concerts, multi-cultural understanding, and celebration as well as science and technology initiatives.
The ecosystem where we live is essential to the health and quality of life for all living things. OneFortyOne is a nature-based business, and we take the responsibility seriously. Through this objective we will support initiatives that repair, care for and protect our natural environment. Examples of projects that would meet this objective include environmental citizen science, environmental restoration and community rubbish clean ups.
Through our grants program we will support child care centres, preschools, schools, other education providers, teachers and students to empower them with skills and resources to implement initiatives that will help students thrive. Examples of initiatives that meet this objective include student resources, support for student wellbeing, school gardens and educational resources.

Raising funds for community projects, learning opportunities, the arts, sports programs and environmental activities, can be difficult. Especially in regional communities.
Yet despite these challenges, many community groups are incredibly resourceful and have a lot of community support. Often, a small funding boost can kick start a project, fill a gap after local fundraising options are exhausted and support the work of volunteers.
OneFortyOne acknowledges that organisations may not be able to pre-empt funding needs months in advance. Therefore, OneFortyOne facilitates applications all year round.
OneFortyOne will accept applications for any amount up to $5,000.

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.
