Foster's Community Grants is an important initiative within the Foster's in the Community Program, complementing the local nature of our employee and company contributions.
Our Grants program supports high quality, sustainable community projects in Australia and North America. Our focus areas are wellness (both physical and mental health and including responsible consumption initiatives); arts and culture (artistic, sporting or educational activities); and environment (all aspects of the natural environment). Projects are assessed on the quality of the community benefit they aim to deliver within their local community in the coming year.
We'd like to congratulate the following 2009 Foster's Community Grant recipients.
