Supporting Our Local Communities

MLG’s Community Engagement Grant Program is dedicated to fostering vibrant and sustainable communities by supporting projects, events, and initiatives across four key areas:

  • Health and Wellbeing
  • Arts and Education
  • Community Development and Culture

Community Grants

Our funding is designed to empower local communities by supporting initiatives that make a meaningful difference. At MLG, we see every grant as a partnership, and we are committed to working closely with successful applicants to help them achieve their project goals.
