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 can be anything from repairs or maintenance of community facilities, educational opportunities for local youth, or even purchasing a new tuba for the brass band. If your community agrees with the nominated project, we would like to help make it happen.

    Who can apply for a community donation?

    AGT Community Donations are available to anyone who has grown an AGT variety under our Variety Licence Agreement, accurately completed harvest declarations for the years 2020-2023 inclusive, 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 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.

    How to apply

    • Identify a project within your rural community that would benefit from a $10,000 AGT Community Donation
    • Find a local grower who supports the project, and who has been growing AGT crop varieties for at least 4 years and in doing so has;
      1. Accepted the latest Variety Licence Agreement
      2. Submitted Harvest Declarations for each season they have grown AGT varieties
      3. Paid EPRs on harvested grain
    • Submit their details in the form below along with details of the Community Donation project
    • Provide a 30-40 second video via this link; https://agtbreeding.wetransfer.com/ that shows us why your community would benefit from a $10,000 donation. The video can be shot on your phone and doesn't have to be of cinematic quality :-)
