Community Partnership Program 

Cadia prides itself on its expansive community support programs. Each year, we provide financial and in-kind support to enhance community groups and organisations in the Blayney, Cabonne and Orange Local Government Areas (LGA's).

Our Community Partnership Program offers two funding opportunities – Cadia Cares and the Cadia Legacy Fund.

Applications are considered through a Community Partnership Program committee, which is comprised of representatives from across our workforce. The committee includes a range of skill sets from operators through to management and is representative of the diverse community in which we live.  

Cadia Cares

Cadia Cares provides support to community groups within Blayney, Cabonne and Orange LGA’s to offset the current impacts of Cadia’s activities and support the economic development of the community.  Minor funding of up to $5,000 is available for short-term projects, while funding of up to $20,000 is available for projects which can demonstrate long-term benefit to the community. 

Please read the Cadia Cares Guidelines to check your eligibility. 

Prospective applicants are encouraged to discuss their project with the Social Performance team prior to submitting an application. Please contact Nicole Morris on 0439 490 092 or nicole.morris@newmont.com (Tuesday - Friday). 

The Cadia Legacy Fund

The Cadia Legacy Fund works in partnership with community representatives to develop and deliver strategic projects which will leave a legacy on the local region (within Blayney, Cabonne or Orange LGA’s) while Cadia continues to operate, and as it reaches mine closure.  Funding applications of a minimum of $20,000 will be considered through the Cadia Legacy Fund.  Projects must demonstrate strategic alignment with government or key stakeholder plans. 

Please read the Cadia Legacy Fund Guidelines to check your eligibility.

Testimonial – Donation to Ngurang-gu Yalbilinga Program. 

“The gym equipment has not only enhanced the program, it has also enhanced the boys quality of life through exercise and their perceptions on the importance of healthy choices and a healthy lifestyle. It’s support such as Cadia’s that allows the Ngurang-gu Yalbilinya Program to provide lifechanging opportunities for these young Aboriginal men. The generosity of Cadia will go a long way to ensuring the continued success for our community-based Programs.”

Ngurang-gu Yalbilinya Student Support Officer, Mark Polley
