2020 Grant Partner
In 2020, we secured 174 donors @ $500 each, giving a total of $87,000, half of which is added to the P500 Endowment Fund. The interest generated in 2020 from the Endowment Fund was $2,500 which was added to the $43,500, providing a grant total of $46,000.
As the Endowment Fund grows so the interest component will grow, eventually surpassing the donated amount.
The three shortlisted organisations in 2020 were;
1. BCYF (Bellarine Child Youth & Family)
2. Feed Me Bellarine
3. Hope Bereavement/Bluebird Foundation

Feed Me Bellarine was the successful grant recipient in 2020 receiving $46,000 to develop and expand their “Feed Me Geelong” program. The grant will support the organisation’s growth, extending their program from Ocean Grove and the Surf Coast to Geelong. Feed Me Bellarine’s mission is to get every hospitality and food outlet on the Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong and Surf Coast on a food waste movement. Since March this year, Feed Me Bellarine have provided 104,000 meals to the community using food rescued from the region.
