GM3 FY25

GM3 are passionate about supporting and working with the communities where we operate. We actively engage with stakeholders to understand their interests and aspirations and identify opportunities to work together to create shared value.

GM3 supports local community projects aligned to four key focus areas:

1. Education and leadership 

• Education, training, youth development and childcare.
• Supporting lifelong learning and development, nurturing future leaders, and promoting equal access to education, with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.  

2. Good health and social wellbeing

• Community health, sport and recreation, family, and youth support.
• Supporting community health and social wellbeing and promoting inclusion.

3. Economic participation

• Local employment, local business development.
• Supporting local employment, sustainable livelihoods, and diversified local economies. 

4. Natural resource resilience

• Environment, water, land management.
• Supporting communities to thrive in their environment and use natural resources responsibly and sustainably.

Your application must demonstrate alignment to a GM3 focus area. Please contact your local Community team for assistance if you cannot identify the GM3 focus area your application aligns with.

GM3 will assess grant applications based on how successfully the project will:

• Deliver benefits to the community in alignment with our focus areas;                         
• Support inclusion and community participation;                                                   
• Support the needs of the community;              
• Deliver present and future benefits to the local area; and                                           
• Support the local environment and natural resources.

Due to our many applications, meeting the assessment criteria does not guarantee support. GM3 retains discretion over the community projects or activities we support. Applicants should only act in expectation of receiving our support upon confirmation of a decision.

GM3 will not consider the following applications:

• Individuals;
• Fundraising for religious or political purposes;
• Activities that conflict with GM3's corporate values, Code of Business Conduct, Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy or a combination of one, more or all;
• Projects not aligned with our focus areas;
• Projects incapable of delivering measurable benefit(s) to the community and;
• Projects or activities previously supported where GM3’s support did not (in our view) deliver on the intended purpose and expected benefits.

• To allow adequate time for GM3 to assess and inform you of the outcome of your application, GM3 must receive the submission before the published due date (if applicable) or three months before the predicted commencement of an activity or project for which you are applying for support.
• Fields marked with asterisks(*) are mandatory. The system will not allow the application to be submitted if mandatory fields are blank or attachments are omitted. 
• Please contact your local community team if you require assistance submitting an application using the GM3 SmartyGrants system.
