NorCen Financial Services Ltd is unable to provide funding for wages, trophies, or initiatives that do not align with community values.

Our primary focus is to develop a better, stronger community for all. We love initiatives/projects that will have a lasting impact on your group and/or help to build a stronger future for the wider community.

There's no set limit on how much you can apply for. Our committee will carefully review your application and may choose to fund specific parts of your proposal, which could result in a lower amount being approved than originally requested. For applications over $10,000, we typically require additional strategic planning, and may request further documentation, or invite you to discuss your proposal with the Community Investments Committee.

When applying, you should consider that our goal is to support projects that help local community groups grow and thrive - we are unable to fund private businesses. Our community investments program is more than just a grant, it's a partnership! That means we’re working together to create positive outcomes for the community. As part of this, we really value applications that include creative and meaningful ways to cross-promote, engage, and collaborate on projects.
