HVO Community Grants Program supports 14 more projects

Local events, junior sport programs, and employment opportunities for people
with disabilities are set to benefit from Hunter Valley Operations’ latest round of
community grants.

Fourteen not-for-profit organisations have received funding to support smaller-scale
initiatives that often struggle to secure backing.

HVO community and environment officer Nic McLaughlin said the grants reflect the
mine’s commitment to building long-term social and economic value in the region.

“Our focus is on supporting initiatives that strengthen community capacity, improve
health and well-being, and enhance skills and the local environment,” Nic said.

Since 2018, HVO has invested more than $500,000 into over 110 community programs
and projects, on top of its support through charity partnerships and workplace giving.
