Heritage and church insurer Ansvar is inviting applications from not-for-profit organisations for grants of up to $50,000 from its annual $250,000 Community Educations Program (CEP).

The grants support sustainable programs for Australians AGED under 25, promoting on-going education to make “significant improvements” to the lives of participants.

CEO Warren Hutcheon says the grants are purposely focused on helping the young.

“We want to provide valuable support to improve and enrich the lives of young people so they may be able to contribute positively to the community in which we all live.”

Since the grants were first awarded in 1994, Ansvar has contributed more than $10 million to education and life skills programs reaching thousands of young people across Australia.

Applicants WILL need to show their programs support Australian youth in one of two categories – empowerment and education, or outreach and support.

Applications close on October 15. Click here to apply.
