Glencore Coal's Community Investment Program supports activities and programs that make a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.

To receive funding through this program, applicants must demonstrate how their initiative will make a positive contribution to these communities.

Community initiatives must fall within at least one of the following focus areas: health, environment, education and training, Indigenous and/or an identified local need.

Maximum funding per organisation is generally capped at $5,000 so as to allow for multiple organisations to benefit from the program. However, we will accept applications for higher amounts and assess them on merit and value to the community. Please note Glencore runs two Junior Sports Development funding rounds each year, separate to the Rolleston Community Investment program, that are advertised in the local print media. Senior Sporting Clubs are not considered for funding through the Rolleston Community Investment Program.

To be eligible, the application must:

• be from a not-for-profit, incorporated organisation operating a separate, auditable organisational bank account
• demonstrate the organisation's ability to manage the proposed project/activity in a professional manner
• primarily benefit at least one of the communities where we operate
• address a substantiated need in the community
• demonstrate how the initiative will directly benefit the local community
• demonstrate a high level of community involvement i.e. be widely beneficial to the community
• demonstrate financial sustainability, i.e. not become reliant on ongoing funding from Glencore
• have clearly defined objectives and time frames
• be received at least 8 weeks prior to the planned project/activity implementation or within the funding round time frame.
