At Jemena, we believe in the power of community-led initiatives to create lasting, positive change. We are also committed to continuing our Reconciliation journey, where we build respectful and inclusive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the areas in which we operate.

Through our Community Grants Program we are committed to supporting organisations that are making a real difference in the lives of people across the regions we serve.

We are pleased to open the first round of our grants program for 2025, providing grants of up to $10,000 to organisations that provide support and services to First Nations people.

In 2026, we are looking to fund groups which:

• support education, training and/or work opportunities that support people into jobs
• help create jobs in communities, including social enterprises, or
• provide support services or emergency assistance (for example, food pantries).
