Brighter Futures is Arrow Energy’s Community Investment program.
It offers the opportunity for groups to access financial support for activities that make a positive contribution to communities in our Surat Gas Project footprint.
Types of funding
There are two types of funding available under our Brighter Futures program – grants and sponsorships.
Grants
Our Brighter Futures grants program provides community organisations, educational facilities, not-for-profit organisations, clubs, associations, and charities with the opportunity to apply for grants of up to $5,000.
Applications for our 2026 grants program open Monday 9 February and close Friday 27 February.
Sponsorships
Our Brighter Futures sponsorship program provides sponsorship of community events and activities.
Applications can be made at any time throughout the year, and are considered at Arrow’s discretion.
While Arrow would love to support all applications, the Brighter Futures budget is allocated annually. Once funds are exhausted, the program will close until the next calendar year.
