Carolina Sponsorships and Grants Program
Build < $50,000
Build grants support large projects or campaigns, with potential national reach through shared promotional activity. An example of a Build sponsorships is our partnership with Take 3 for the Sea.
TAKE 3 FOR THE SEA
AVID is proud to be supporting the Take 3 for the sea movement. Take 3 is committed to reducing plastic pollution through education and public participation.In collaboration with Take 3 co-founder Tim Silverwood, AVID hosted a series of Take 3 events across Australia’s eastern seaboard.
By enabling local communities to get behind the Take 3 initiative, AVID supports Take 3 in its mission to inspire genuine change, creating a cleaner environment for future generations.
Connect < $10,000
Connect grants help to create lasting community partnerships and connections in and around the wider Melton community. Previous Connect sponsorships in Victoria have included the Diggers Rest Football and Netball Club and Diggers Rest Cricket Club.
Over the past 10 years we have helped provide necessary funds to grow the number of teams and opportunities for people to play at all levels, including new junior teams and women’s teams.
Activate < $2,500
Activate grants support local initiatives at a grassroots level, with projects delivered within Carolina and surrounding areas. Previous Activate projects with Carolina by AVID Property Group have included Deanside Primary School’s equipment for their new gym to ensure child welfare. New paediatric defibrillators were purchased with the Grant received from Carolina. The Caroline Springs Scouts desperately needed new tents to reinstate their outdoor programs following restrictions on activities, and the Carolina Grant came at a very opportune time for them.
In 2023 Carolina supported the recently established Melton Performing Arts groups and provided funds to Caroline Springs Scouts for the purchase of all abilities outdoor furniture.
