At GH Commercial, we are proud to continue our sponsorship of Geelong Connected Communities (GCC), which delivers a 24/7 online grants platform that helps not-for- profit organisations fund their programs, making the Geelong region a better place.

With 160 years of local manufacturing in Geelong, we’re committed to investing in partnerships that align with our values. We’re proud to support like-minded organisations across a range of sectors - including arts, culture, sport and community development - that contribute to the vibrancy and wellbeing of our region.

Since it was established in 2013, GCC played a vital role in strengthening the local community by distributing over $2.4 million in funding to date. This remarkable contribution has supported 860 individual grants, helping countless local initiatives grow and flourish. In total, 450 Geelong community organisations have benefitted.

A standout example of GCC’s impact is its ten-year partnership with Volunteering Geelong. Through annual support of the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award, which has received $37,000 in funding to date, the program honours the extraordinary efforts of local individuals who give back selflessly. Now a celebrated fixture on Geelong’s calendar and recognised by local leadership, the award draws over 30 nominations annually, highlighting the resilience, service, and pride that characterise our region.

At GH Commercial, our commitment to community engagement is a cornerstone of our Believe in Better® framework. This philosophy challenges us to continuously improve - not only in our products and processes but also in how we support the people and places that have supported us. By partnering with organisations like GCC, we aim to create lasting, positive change that reflects our dedication to doing better every day.
