Applications for the 2011 Community Education Grants have now opened. In 2010 we were able to provide funding to 79 programs touching the lives of thousands of young Australians.
Each year, Ansvar Insurance allocates funds for community education programs aiming to assist young people under the age of 25 to develop a positive attitude to life. We set aside 10% of after tax profit, averaged over three years, to support our next generation of Australians.
Ansvar Insurance has been recognised for its outstanding contribution to the community by the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance Industry, finishing as finalists in the Service to the Community award in 2008 and 2009.

Some of the programs supported in 2009 include:
Focus on the Family - How to drug proof your kids. Delivered across Australia by nearly 2,000 trained facilitators it is primarily a parenting program. This is one of the most successful programs of its type ever developed in Australia. In recent years, the program has been successfully launched in a number of overseas countries including the USA and UK.
Motivational Media - Youth development program for high school students. Each year, Motivational Media develops a quality youth oriented program based around a particular theme. A high tech audio visual with contemporary music and video clips and instructional true-life stories is shown at each school. Teachers are given a handbook to follow through the issues raised in the audio visual.
Aboriginal Literacy Foundation - Provides specialised tutoring to indigenous youth aged 12 to 16 in remote areas of Australia. This one on one tutoring support is provided on a weekly basis with the aim of improving literacy. This program encourages these young people` to remain in school and achieve a higher level of education, training and skills.
