Commonground Grants

Over the past 40 years Commonground has provided retreat and conference facilities to smaller organisations that have been working hard to have a positive impact on in the world.

For many organisations doing incredible work to bring about social change the opportunity to bring the team together or to run a small conference is simply not affordable.

In order to expand the number of organisations we help, we have created the Commonground Grants program, offering over $30,000 worth of accommodation and venue use to smaller NFPs so that they can increase the value of the work they do for the greater community.

Our 2025 grant recipients included:

• Enspiral Network

• The Marruk Project

• WIRE - Women’s Information and Referral Exchange

• ECOSS Yarra

• Flat Out Inc.

Enspiral Kumara received 1.5 days free accommodation and facility use which helped them to extend their retreat to a full three day program! Commonground loves helping amazing people come together for a better world!
