MatchWorks in the Community

MatchWorks Community and Innovation Grants

MatchWorks is dedicated to creating inclusive communities where individuals and businesses can thrive. Our Community and Innovation Grants support Not-for-Profit organisations and Social Enterprises in regions where MatchWorks operates, helping them cover service costs and expand their outreach.

Through this program, we aim to make a positive impact by supporting community organisations and businesses that enhance people’s lives. We are proud to contribute to initiatives that help individuals lead are happier, healthier lives.

Some of our grant recipients include:
