ADG Community Grants Program Reaches New Milestone - Round Five Opens 7 May 2026

Airport Development Group (ADG) is proud to announce that Round Five of the ADG Community Grants Program will officially open on Thursday 7 May 2026, continuing the organisation’s commitment to supporting grass roots initiatives that strengthen communities across the Northern Territory.

 

Since launching in 2024, the ADG Community Grants Program has grown into a highly successful community investment initiative, supporting 39 local community organisations, including schools, clubs and not-for-profits delivering meaningful outcomes across education, environment, health, innovation, arts and culture.

 

Through the first four rounds, the program has helped fund projects that enhance learning opportunities, promote wellbeing, celebrate culture, encourage innovation, and support environmental sustainability, demonstrating the powerful impact small, locally focused grants can achieve.

 

Eligible organisations can apply for grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 (incl. GST) to support projects that deliver tangible community benefit.

Over the past several rounds, we have seen first-hand how grass roots initiatives can create lasting impact. From community programs and cultural projects to health and education initiatives, these grants empower local organisations to turn great ideas into real outcomes for Territorians

ADG Executive General Manager People, Culture and Community, Sandra de Kock, said the continued expansion of the program reflects ADG’s long-term commitment to community connection.

 

“Over the past several rounds, we have seen first-hand how grass roots initiatives can create lasting impact. From community programs and cultural projects to health and education initiatives, these grants empower local organisations to turn great ideas into real outcomes for Territorians,” Ms de Kock said.

 

“Round Five represents an important milestone for ADG. We are incredibly proud of the partnerships formed with community organisations across the Territory and look forward to supporting even more local changemakers in 2026.”

 

Applications close Thursday, June 18, 2026.
