Love Water Grants
For over 30 years, Hunter Water has supported the community with water conservation, sustainability and education initiatives that enhance liveability and innovation in our region.
The Love Water Grants are one-off financial contributions of up to $10,000 to help community-focused groups deliver water conservation and education projects.
The purpose of the Grants is to promote water conservation through education, efficiency improvements and awareness in the Lower Hunter. The Love Water Grants aim to:
- Boost community groups and organisations to identify and solve water conservation issues through practical solutions and projects
- Inspire local schools, groups and other organisations to undertake activities that have a positive impact to the community, with environmental and social benefits
Applications are open annually from 14 February until 14 March.
