Community support

We take great pride in our role in the prosperity of our region and the wellbeing of our community. That’s why we’ve established a number of community support and partnership programs.

Barwon Water Grants

We offer grants for community, business, and schools to help fund local projects that enhance the quality of life in our region.

Strategic Sponsorships

We work proactively with communities to identify sponsorship opportunities that align with our strategic objectives.

While we generally contact leading regional organisations directly to explore partnerships, we also invite you to reach out to us to discuss proposals that may align with our strategic goals.

Please contact the grants and sponsorship team on 1300 656 007 or email sponsorship@barwonwater.vic.gov.au

Reusable drink bottles

In line with our commitment to achieve zero waste by 2030, we’re phasing out drink bottles for community and sporting groups. While the bottles are reusable, we recognise that plastic products can have negative effects on the environment and our waterways. The use of plastic is increasing across the world, and it is estimated that it will double by 2040. We want to play a part in reducing plastic use. We thank you for your understanding.
