Applications are now open for the ING Foundation’s new look grant programme.  Charities and community groups that share ING DIRECT’s commitment to innovation and realising the potential of young people are encouraged to apply.

Grants have been increased from up to $15,000 to up to $25,000, reflecting ING DIRECT’s genuine commitment to make a real and meaningful difference in the community in which it operates.

 “As an innovative, online bank, we are looking to support unique and innovative projects that address issues in our community which are most important to our staff, including youth disadvantage, education, youth health & mental health,” said ING DIRECT CEO, Don Koch.

The ‘new look’ program is more focused, and includes a more simple and straightforward application process.

Charities interested in applying should go to http://www.ingfoundation.com.au/main.php?page=grant_application for more information.
