Community Investment Fund
Origin has proudly supported communities across NSW through community investment programs for more than a decade. Origin’s community investment activities target community wellbeing, community resilience, economic development and the environment.
About the Fund
The Yanco Delta Wind Farm Community Investment Fund is one component of Origin’s shared benefits program.
Origin is proud to support communities near the Yanco Delta Wind Farm through a dedicated Community Investment Fund. We recognise that major energy projects have an impact on the places and people around them, and we’re committed to giving back in meaningful ways.
The Fund will accept applications of up to $10,000 to support events or initiatives that align to one or more of the community investment priorities. Applicants that demonstrate meaningful community outcomes within the Murrumbidgee and Edward River local government areas are encouraged to apply.
Origin’s Yanco Delta Wind Farm Community Investment Fund Applicant Guidelines provide more detail about focus areas, eligibility (including things we won’t support) and how applications will be assessed.
