Turning business success into community impact: $200,000 in CEP grants announced

March 18, 2026

Ansvar has announced $200,000 in grants as part of its Community Education Program (CEP) grants. Nine charities and not-for-profit organisations will get funding to support their work helping young people and vulnerable communities across Australia.

Since 1994, Ansvar’s Community Education Program has donated more than $15 million, supporting over 300 programs focused on education, early intervention and life skills development for disadvantaged young Australians.

Through CEP, Ansvar supports organisations working across two key funding streams:

  • Empowerment and Education
  • Outreach and Support

The grants are allocated to programs that help young people build resilience, confidence and safer futures, while strengthening the organisations delivering support at a community level.

Ansvar is funding the following organisations and programs through the 2026 CEP grants:

  1. Life Choices Foundation: Make Bullying History
  2. LIVIN: LIVINWell In School Programs
  3. DeadlyScience: Seed Science / Native Grains
  4. Back on Track Foundation: Wheatbelt Regional Education Advocate Project
  5. Australian Neighbourhood Houses & Centres Association : Thriving Families
  6. Carer and Community SA: YAC YAC (Young Carers Action Crew)
  7. Friends with Dignity: Sanctuary Program
  8. Red Frogs: Digital/Content Refresh / Schoolies & Life After School Programs
  9. Give Write: Supporting Regional Students

These programs were selected from more than 300 applications. They each present a great opportunity to improve life for young Australians.

A further round of Community Education Program grants will open in the second half of 2026, continuing Ansvar’s investment in programs that deliver early intervention, prevention and lasting community impact.

When Ansvar succeeds, communities benefit.
