Suncorp is partnering with the Confident Girls Foundation to launch a community grants initiative, the Suncorp Spirit Fund, supporting Queensland netball clubs impacted by floods, fires, severe storms or cyclones.

Suncorp Spirit Fund will provide grants of up to $2500 to netball clubs throughout the state to rebuild and purchase new equipment or hold events to further support grass-roots netball.

CEO Insurance Product & Portfolio Lisa Harrison has encouraged Queensland netball clubs to get involved.

“At Suncorp, we’re incredibly passionate about supporting women and helping girls reach their potential and achieve their dreams – and netball provides the perfect platform to directly and positively impact the wellbeing of girls across the country.”

The Confident Girls Foundation, an affiliate of Netball Australia, partners with grassroots netball in times of adversity. Since 2017, the foundation has supported 73,774 girls nationally and raised over $1.6 million.

Applications for the grants are open until mid November.
