Purpose and Priorities
The Community Connection Program aims to:

• enhance, encourage and recognise Telstra employees’ involvement in community organisations;
• put Telstra’s philanthropic giving in the hands of our employees; and
• support those Australian-based community organisations that reflect human values including wellbeing, respect, affection, rectitude, enlightenment and skill.

Applications will be considered in the order that they are received and a limited number of grants are available.







Community Connection Leadership Grants

The Community Connection Leadership Grants will recognise and support Telstra employees who are making a leadership contribution to community governance through service on the board (or committee of management) of a non profit organisation.

A grant of $1,000 will be made as a donation to the community organisation where the Telstra employee has governance responsibility.



Community Connection Volunteering Grants

The Community Connection Volunteering Grants will support and recognise Telstra employees who are active volunteers in the community.

A grant of $250 will be made as a donation to a non profit organisation where the Telstra employee has volunteered their time.
