Investing in Communities: How Our Community Grants Make a Difference

At Nicholson Ventures Group (NVG), we believe in the power of community. We’ve seen firsthand how a little support can go a long way in helping nonprofits achieve their mission, create lasting change, and uplift those who need it most. That’s why we’ve made it part of our purpose to offer Community Grants, providing nonprofits with access to services and resources that might otherwise be out of reach.

What Our Community Grants Are All About

Our grants don’t just provide funding; they deliver targeted support where it counts. From marketing strategy and event planning to digital asset creation and non-profit application support for Google for Nonprofits suite, our grants equip organisations with the tools they need to amplify their efforts. These are projects that help nonprofits connect more effectively with their communities, grow their reach, and ultimately, make a stronger impact. We focus on providing practical, hands-on assistance that can help nonprofits focus more on what they do best—serving others.

Real-World Impact: Helping Local Heroes Thrive

Every nonprofit has a story, and with NVG’s help, they can share that story with the world. For instance, a recent grant recipient—a local community group supporting mental wellness—used our services to create a digital marketing campaign that spread their message and attracted more supporters to their fundraising campaign. By working closely with their team, we helped them build a professional online presence with engaging graphic presentation, and make meaningful connections with individuals and organisations aligned with their cause.

These success stories remind us why we do what we do: because when local heroes have the resources they need, entire communities thrive.

Why We’re Committed to Giving Back

We don’t just invest in business; we invest in people, ideas, and communities. As a family-owned group with roots in philanthropy and a commitment to social responsibility, NVG recognises that real success means creating positive change. Our Community Grants program allows us to channel our resources and skills toward projects that resonate with our values and support initiatives we believe in. This is more than a business initiative—it’s a part of our identity—part of our social responsibility.
