About Glencore's coal business in Australia
Glencore Coal’s Community Investment Program supports activities and programs that make a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.
We are Australia’s largest coal producer with mining complexes across New South Wales and Queensland.
In New South Wales we operate in the Singleton, Muswellbrook and Mid-Western Local Government Areas. In Queensland our operational regions are Glenden, Collinsville/Scottville, Tieri/Capella, Springsure/ Rolleston, Nebo/Pioneer Valley, Wandoan/Taroom and Clermont.
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.

What funding is available?
Maximum funding per application is generally capped at $5000 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.
NB: Projects or initiatives that apply for a portion of the total project costs will not be considered unless the remaining project costs are secured - either from the applicant organisation or other funding sources.
Please DO NOT submit multiple funding applications to Glencore Coal sites for the one project. Choose only the site which is closest to your project location. Multiple funding applications across our site grant rounds will not be considered.
Project/Activity Completion
Projects must be completed within 12 months from the time of funding unless an agreed multiyear project is approved.
Project/Activity Agreement and Evaluation
A project agreement will be entered into that will include providing a project report and/or evaluation. Upon request successful applicants must provide an expenditure/reconciliation statement or proof of project completion.
