For 80+ years, Australians have been enjoying National Pies – at pie nights, at social clubs, and at footy matches big and small. To say thanks for your support, a grants program has been launched: National Pies for Local Legends.
Any registered Australian community group, sporting club or not-for-profit organisation can apply. A grant of $1,000 will be awarded each month, beginning in March 2024. A major grant of $10,000 will also be awarded at the end of each 12 month period (end of February).
Whether you need new boots for your footy club, art supplies for your painting group, a special trip funded, or something else entirely – tell us how National Pies can help!

GRANT-AUS IGA Community Chest
2025-09-30, 2025-10-31
Raises funds to support local communities, charities and other worthwhile causes. It could be in response to a major event like floods or bush fires or something as simple as new soccer balls for the local under 8’s.

IGA Community Chest and associated programs have raised over $86 million for local community groups, not-for-profit organisations, charities and other worthy causes. This money has assisted over 7,000 worthwhile causes.
The money is raised in a number of ways but predominately through the purchase of products with an IGA Community Chest logo on the label or ticket. Also through purchasing any Community Co product you can help your local IGA grow its Community Chest fund.
When you purchase a product with the IGA Community Chest logo printed on the label a percentage is credited to that store’s IGA Community Chest account. During IGA Community Chest catalogue promotion weeks, all products in the catalogue bearing the special IGA Community Chest logo contribute to the ‘Chest’. Throughout the year, extra fundraising activities are conducted by stores and regions.
IGA Community Chest beneficiary cheques are distributed throughout the year in most states.
Because IGA stores are independently owned, each store will choose the local causes that they would like to support. Please find your local IGA and approach them directly.
IGA uses a three-tier selection system:
– Local causes are chosen by individual store owners
– Regional causes are selected by clusters of stores or regional management
– State-level initiatives are determined in consultation with State IGA executives or boards.
Prepare a pitch and it may include:
– An overview of your organisation and/or the individual that you’d like supported
– What support are you looking for – monies, donations of goods, providing team jumpers, holding regular fundraising at the store, group registrations at the store, etc
– How the donation will be used and your timing. Is there anything you can offer in return to IGA?
– Don’t forget to include your contact details.
Typical grants include support for:
– Local sports clubs (e.g. soccer jerseys, equipment)
– Schools (e.g. musical instruments or facility upgrades)
– Emergency responses (e.g. flood relief)
– Community services (e.g. men’s sheds, RFS brigades).

Webinar - Finding Funding and Winning Grants
2025-10-13 13:00 - 16:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
Fundraising is the lifeblood of most community organisations, yet it’s an often-neglected task. Most organisations draw the majority of their income from just one or two sources. That’s a dangerous strategy. If one of those sources dries up, you could quickly face a budget black hole.
To survive and thrive in a changing world, a not-for-profit organisation must develop a fundraising plan that rests on these seven pillars of fundraising:

Grants
Donations
Crowdfunding
Membership
Events
Sales
Sponsorship

With around $80 billion given out in grants across Australia each year, this session will take an in-depth look at writing a proposal to ensure your organisation is getting its share of the money on offer.
This course is designed for grassroots community groups that want to find out where to find funding, and how to win it.

Beyond the Seat | From voice to choice

Friday 24 October (Student Voice Symposium)

Location: Griffith University Gold Coast & Online

This year’s theme challenges us to go further than giving students a seat at the table.
It’s about moving from simply listening to sharing real power.

Beyond the Seat invites us to rethink systems, relationships, and leadership, so students help shape not just the conversation, but the future.
Our theme this year will be explored through four streams:

Structures That Listen: Student Voice in University Governance

Learning Together: Co-Creating Curriculum and Pedagogy
Belonging and Culture: Building Inclusive Communities
Leadership in Action: Building Confidence and Capability
