Expressions of Interest for a $10,000 AGT Community Donation are open until May 15th.

What are AGT Community Donations?

AGT wants to contribute up to $10,000 to a project that benefits your local rural community.

Proudly homegrown, AGT has become the largest plant breeding company in Australia.

Our ability to reach this milestone - by delivering market-leading varieties in every mainland state - is due entirely to growers like you and communities like yours. With each of our breeding centres based in rural communities, we recognise that we all operate with the support of the communities in which we live and work.

The donation can be used to cover all or part of whatever you’re trying to achieve.

It could go toward anything from upgrading community facilities, supporting local youth programs, or improving equipment for volunteer groups. If your community needs the nominated project, we would like to help make it happen.

    Who can apply for a community donation?

    AGT Community Donations are available to any rural community where farmers have grown an AGT variety under our Variety Licence Agreement, accurately completed harvest declarations between the years of 2021-2024, and paid end point royalties on their harvest.

    End point royalties are AGT’s only source of income and so are vital for our ongoing research and breeding of field crops specifically for Australian grain growers. These Community Donations are therefore our way of thanking - and giving back - to those who have done the right thing by AGT.


    The AGT Community Donations application process.

    Applications begin with a short Expression of Interest, allowing us to confirm grower eligibility before you continue with the application.
