Community Grants

Giving back to the community has become part of everyday life here at Hobart Airport and, best of all, your charity can get involved.

We award grants to local charities that help our community connect and are available for projects that will make a difference to social, economic or environmental outcomes in Tasmania.

Applications have now closed.
