We’re working with local communities to make them safer. If you are, or know of, a community group who is proactively working in one of our four funding areas – crime prevention, road safety, emergency readiness and response and environment, they could be eligible to receive funding of up to $5,000 (including GST).
Category Descriptions
We provide funding in four different categories, so it’s important to make sure your application is suited to one of our four category descriptions.1. Crime Prevention
Initiatives suitable for this category include programs that increase safety and security in local communities by reducing the opportunity for crime or by targeting persons at risk of becoming criminal offenders. Initiatives also considered are ones that change attitudes and practices of people around the protection of property, people and workplace. Examples: early intervention programs that target youth ‘at risk’, educational initiatives aimed at increasing safety and reducing vulnerability to crime.
2. Road Safety
Initiatives considered will be programs that seek to change behaviours on the road and reduce the likelihood and severity of road incidents. Preferred initiatives are programs that are based on evidence either from a previous program or have a sound theory which aims to create a positive safety impact and will most likely lead to behavioural changes. Examples include education programs, that based on evidence are contributing to changing driver behaviour in ‘at risk’ groups and initiatives that increase awareness of the importance of road safety customised for specific road users.
3. Emergency Readiness and Response
Initiatives suitable for this category will focus on creating awareness about the importance of preparation and response in relation to minimising the likelihood or severity of incidences in and around the home. Preparation, prevention and hazard minimisation programs which aim to reduce the incidence of damage to property and/or people during storms, fires or other hazardous situations, as well as programs that focus on disaster or emergency response and/or recovery activities will be considered.
4. Environment
NRMA Insurance acknowledges that human induced climate change is a reality. Initiatives considered for funding will raise awareness and/or promote actions to combat climate change such as reducing emissions from vehicles, households or businesses, as well as programs which focus on areas such as renewable energy and carbon reduction. Energy efficiency initiatives will also be considered.
