NCIG is proud to announce that 32 exceptional community organisations have received funding through the March 2026 round of our Community Support Program (CSP).
This latest round highlights the remarkable diversity, passion and dedication of organisations working across the Hunter region. From wellbeing and cultural initiatives to education, sport and environmental stewardship, each recipient is making a meaningful difference and helping to build stronger, more connected communities.
More than $134,000 has been awarded through this funding round, enabling recipients to expand existing programs, launch new initiatives and continue delivering practical support where it is needed most. Through the CSP, NCIG remains committed to investing in projects that create lasting social, environmental and community benefits across the region.
We recognise the invaluable contribution these organisations make every day and are proud to support the people and programs that help our communities thrive.
To celebrate this achievement, recipients were welcomed to an on-site morning tea, a long-standing CSP tradition. The event provided an opportunity for organisations to connect with one another, share their stories, build new relationships and meet members of the NCIG team.
