Community grants up to $5,000

The grants are open to community groups including charities, sporting clubs, schools, environmental organisations and community groups.

Projects may include upgrading food charity kitchens, improving sporting clubrooms, delivering education programs to remote groups, providing community health and wellness programs, or assisting a revegetation initiative.

Eligible groups can apply for grants of up to $5,000 a year to fund projects that have positive and measurable benefits for their community and have the potential for long-term impact beyond the grant.

Priority will also be given to projects that align with Pace Farm’s respect for equity and inclusion, driven by its vision of Eggs For Everyone, and to initiatives that make a meaningful difference in areas where Pace Farm operates.

Why?

Pace Farm’s vision is simple — Eggs For Everyone. We want to provide everyone access to healthy, nutritional, delicious eggs wherever they are.

Our vision inspires us to make a positive impact and now we want to support local communities with our Community Grants Program that focuses on community inclusivity and enhancement.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to Pace Farm for their generous contribution through the Community Grant Scheme.

This support allows us to invest in meaningful resources that ensure our annual NAIDOC celebrations continue to thrive, while also empowering our community and elevating the Proud and Deadly awards.

Through these initiatives, our students will gain deeper cultural understanding and a stronger sense of belonging.

Thank you for helping us make a lasting difference.”

2025-26 Q1

Blind Cricket ACT

Blind Cricket ACT was awarded $5,000 to support multicultural inclusion through cricket programs for people who are blind or have low vision from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

“This funding is a game-changer for us and will be used to expand our programs and make cricket more accessible for multicultural people with vision impairments right here in the ACT.

This grant will help us create new opportunities, build stronger connections and ensure that everyone, no matter their background, has the chance to get involved in the sport we love.

We’re so grateful for Pace Farms’ support and their commitment to our local community.”

2025-26 Q1

West Wyalong High School P&C Association

Wyalong High School P&C Association will put $3,919 towards canteen upgrades with a focus on safety and equipment.

“We are incredibly grateful to Pace Farm for their generous Community Grant, which is helping us carry out essential remediation works for our school canteen.

Operated on a not-for-profit basis, the canteen is a vital resource for students and staff, many of whom rely on it for daily access to food.

Maintaining the facilities is often beyond our means, so support like this truly makes a difference.

Thank you to the Pace Farm team for backing our school community and for your guidance throughout the process.”

– WWHS P&C Association President Melissa Blackwood, Treasurer John Costello and Secretary Anne Barrett
