SilverChef Community Grants Program

Provides grants to eligible community groups who use hospitality to support disadvantaged or under-served communities.

The SilverChef Community Grants Program is open to eligible Australian community groups that use hospitality or food services to help disadvantaged or under-served members of their local community.

These community groups can include:
- Registered charities and not-for-profits
- Social enterprises (direct-benefit, cross-subsidy, or donation model)
- Private entities with an ABN for which improving the lives of Indigenous people accounts for more than 50% of their time and/or resources.

Each $5,000 grant is a 75:25 mix of equipment and cash, as follows:

Equipment:
- Each grant recipient receives a $3,750 credit to spend on selected ‘Certified Used’ commercial kitchen equipment advertised on SilverChef’s website.

Cash:
- Each grant recipient receives $1,250 in cash. This money is intended to help towards the cost of the equipment’s freight and installation. Any remaining cash will be transferred to the recipient’s nominated bank account. They can spend this cash however they like.

Unsuccessful applications will automatically be reconsidered in the subsequent funding rounds in the same financial year, unless the applicant indicates otherwise.
