chevron community spirit fund

We believe that we have an important role to play in helping local communities build a vibrant and prosperous future. 

We do this by investing in programs which contribute to areas of health and wellbeing, education, environment and building thriving communities.  

The Chevron Community Spirit Fund offers donations of up to $15,000 to not-for-profit organisations operating in the following Northwest locations:

Successful applications will align with one or more of our key social investment focus areas, and contribute to the following outcomes:

To be eligible for funding, an organisation must:

• Be a not-for-profit community group, Aboriginal corporation or government agency or department providing services to the community
• Be an incorporated organisation or affiliated to an incorporated organisation which is willing to host your donation on your behalf
• If an affiliated incorporated organisation is hosting your donation, you must be able to provide a letter of support from the host organisation
• Identify a project, program or activity that will benefit the community in one or more of Chevron’s focus areas and is not intended to replace government funding
• Demonstrate appropriate governance and capacity to manage the project and use of the funds

Proposals that do not align with Chevron’s focus areas or Chevron Way values are not eligible for funding.

Political contributions and business memberships, requests for individuals, requests for travel, study support, conferences, fundraising or medical treatment and requests from religious organisations for religious purposes are also ineligible.

The annual Chevron Community Spirit Fund grant application period opens mid-year, for approximately six weeks. 

All applicants are notified of their application's outcome, with successful recipients receiving funding at the end of each year.

Applications have closed for 2024 and will re-open mid-2025.
