Community Grants Program

The Bupa Foundation Community Grants Program supports local organisations and charities creating healthier people, healthier communities and a healthier planet.

Through grants of $10,000, $25,000 and $50,000, we invest in initiatives that improve health and wellbeing in the communities across Australia and New Zealand.

We are proud to back organisations with the ideas, capability and commitment to create positive, lasting change for the people and places they serve.

Applications for the 2026 Community Grants round are now closed. They will reopen mid 2027.
