The MREH Community Benefit Fund is now open, and has been shaped by community feedback, focusing on creating lasting, meaningful impact through two funding streams:
Youth Futures Partnership Grant – $75,000 per year, this program supports young people through education, skills development and mentorship.
Safe and Sustainable Community Grant – $25,000 per year is available for local initiatives that build connection, participation and sustainability across Melton and surrounding communities.
If you’re part of a local not-for-profit or community group delivering initiatives in these focus areas, check your eligibility and click "apply now" below.
Grant applications close Friday 26 June 2026.
Last year, SEC and GreenPoint Energy (subsidiary of Equis) spoke with the community at local events and pop-ups across Melbourne’s west. A Community Benefit Fund survey was open during this time, helping to inform how the fund should be invested to deliver lasting value.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their feedback. We are pleased to share the outcomes of this engagement in the What We Heard Report, which summarises feedback from the community, businesses and stakeholders during consultation in November and December 2025.
We heard strong interest in delivering community benefits in partnership with local, trusted organisations. Across engagement, there was consistent support for investment in:
Youth skills and pathways, including education, training and scholarships
Community safety and participation, supporting inclusive and active communities
