About the Grant
The SilverChef Community Grants Program provides quarterly grants aimed at strengthening hospitality and food service initiatives that support disadvantaged communities. Each grant is valued at $5,000 and is structured as a mix of commercial kitchen equipment and limited cash support. The program focuses on improving operational efficiency, expanding service capacity, and ensuring sustainability of food-based community programs. By prioritising equipment-led funding, the grant ensures organisations receive practical, long-lasting resources that directly enhance service delivery while also covering essential associated costs.
Who can Apply?
The grant is open to registered charities and not-for-profit organisations that have been operating for at least 12 months. Applicants must use hospitality or food service as a core tool to achieve social impact and demonstrate a genuine need for commercial kitchen equipment. Organisations should show limited access to alternative funding sources and a clear plan for how the grant will strengthen their operations. Priority is given to applicants whose projects deliver measurable community benefits and support sustainable food service models.
How to Apply?
Applicants must first confirm organisational eligibility and operational history. The application requires details of hospitality or food service activities, equipment needs, and expected community impact. Applicants must select appropriate certified used commercial kitchen equipment and outline how the cash component will support related costs. Complete and accurate information is essential to support assessment and approval.
Application Deadline
Applications for the SilverChef Community Grants Program are accepted on a quarterly basis and must be submitted before the announced deadline for the relevant funding round.
