The Community Support Program aims to make a genuine positive difference in the communities in which Yancoal operates offering cash grants and inkind support.

The Community Support Program offers community groups the opportunity to apply for funding to support projects, events and initiatives that help make a genuine positive difference.

The program will source and select initiatives to meet the needs of five specific categories;

1. Social and Community
2. Education and Training
3. Health
4. Environment: and
5. Culture and Arts

The following is considered when determining whether an application for community investment support is appropriate:

• Be from a not-for-profit, incorporated organisation operating a separate, auditable organisational bank account; 
• Demonstrate the organisations ability to manage the proposed project/activity in a professional manner; 
• Primarily benefits at least one of the communities where we operate; 
• Addresses 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;
• Demonstrates or progresses towards financial sustainability, i.e. will not be reliant on ongoing funding from Yancoal; 
• Has clearly defined objectives and timeframes; and
• Be received with sufficient notice of the planned project/activity implementation or within the ‘funding round’ timeframe.
