Funding
Our focus
Each year we provide up to $2 million in funding to support a range of grants and partnerships focused on helping people and communities live healthier lives.
All of nib foundation’s grant and partnership opportunities are outlined below as well as in Our Partnership Approach which has been designed to give grant seekers and organisations interested in partnering with nib foundation an overview of our funding model. Our Partnership Principles guide the way in which we work with our partners in the community.

Our flagship Prevention Partnerships provide a small number of large multi-year grants working to reduce common risk factors for chronic disease.
Application to this program is by invitation only. We identify Preventions Partnerships proactively as a vacancy in this program becomes available.

Community Support
We support community initiatives when a compelling need arises including responding to emergencies and disaster relief, charitable causes connected with our business, and one-off or ongoing causes that contribute to the better health and wellbeing of the communities in which we live and work. Partnerships are developed on an ad hoc basis, by invitation only.
