Bupa today announced the recipients of its 2024 Bupa Foundation Community Grants, with 13 community groups each receiving around $10,000 to support programs that build mentally healthy and resilient communities and address the link between planet health and human health.
The Community Grants Program started in 2019 and, to date, has provided more than $2 million to support communities across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).
Michael Burgess, Bupa’s Director of Sustainability & Corporate Affairs, said local community groups have an immense impact on people’s health and the environment.
“The Bupa Foundation supports a range of initiatives across New Zealand that are making a difference in our communities. Boosting grass-roots programs at a local level is a vital part of our ambition to help create healthier people and planet.
“This year’s Grants recipients are diverse in terms of their location and purpose with both national programmes and hyper local initiatives receiving grants. We look forward to seeing this investment put to good use helping incredible people and organisations drive physical, mental and environmental benefits across the motu,” Michael said.
