Today, Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) announced this year's recipients of grants from the VICT Community Investment Fund. Eighteen not-for-profit or community organisations within the Port Phillip and/or Hobsons Bay communities will be awarded a collective sum of more than quarter of a million dollars to support programs and initiatives focused on young people.
Each organisation will receive grants of up to $20,000, bringing the total amount donated to the community by VICT to more than $1 million dollars since 2014. These contributions will assist with a range of initiatives; from music programs at local schools and assisting educating children from low income families to developing sport and environmental programs.
VICT’s CEO Anders Dømmestrup said, “Each year I look forward to announcing the recipients of the Community Investment Fund. This year is particularly exciting for us as it is our first year of operation - giving the communities we support the opportunity to see the world’s most automated container terminal come to life.”
“It’s very touching to see we can make a change in people’s lives through our Community Investment Fund. We are very pleased to be contributing once again to a variety of worthwhile causes that will assist young people in our local community” Mr Dømmestrup said.
The eighteen successful grant recipients are:
