ICTSI Australia’s grant for young people opens

Victoria International Container Terminal Limited (Vict) recently opened its second annual Community Investment Fund grants program, inviting local non-profit community organizations to apply for grants of up to $20,000.

Disclosing the details of this year’s grants program, Vict CEO Anders Dømmestrup said: “Following the success of Vict’s first Community Investment Fund grants last year, we again look forward to receiving applications from community groups who work to positively develop youth and young people within our local communities.”

Dømmestrup said Vict was delighted to have been able to support inspiring local causes that had made tangible and positive contributions to developing young people.

Last year’s fund was hugely successful, supporting substantial number of local non-profit groups, includ-ing schools, youth charities, sports clubs and youth-lead-ership programs within the cities of Port Phillip and Hobsons Bay.

He added: “The health and education of young people is the focus of the Vict Community Investment Fund, and we are delighted to be able to once again work closely with our neighbouring communities to really make a positive difference through some great initiatives.

We want our future generations to become happy, well-rounded community leaders and this is our way of contributing to ensure that this occurs.”

Applications for Vict’s Community Investment Fund are open to non-profit com-munity organizations that meet the criteria.

Vict intends to make community funds equitably allocated to as many worthy community organizations and initiatives as possible. For this reason, grants are available in four tiers, ranging from approximately $2000 up to a maximum of $20,000.
