Growers can now apply for grants to drive innovation and sustainability
Australian farmers, producers and manufacturers can now apply for financial support from the Coles Nurture Fund to help them innovate and grow.
Coles has opened a new round of the Coles Nurture Fund to provide grants of up to $500,000 for small-and-medium-sized businesses to develop new products, technologies and processes.
Businesses with innovative ideas, fewer than 50 full-time employees, and turnover of less than $25 million in annual revenue are eligible to apply.
Mt Sylvia fruit and vegetable grower Brian Crust and his sons Matthew and Clinton [pictured] have used a grant from the Coles Nurture Fund to increase their water storage and install a new pumping station.
Businesses are encouraged to apply for financial support in Round 9 of the Coles Nurture Fund by 5pm (AEST) on Friday 19 March 2021.
