NRMA Insurance
Help Fund: Innovation

Accelerating Australia's climate resilience through innovation into communities.

Climate Salad has been engaged by NRMA Insurance to help deliver the Innovation Stream program.

Introduction to the NRMA Insurance Help Fund

From bushfires and floods to storms and cyclones, we’ve seen the devastating impact of extreme weather on communities. In a changing climate, these events are becoming more frequent and severe1. That’s why we believe more needs to be done to help prepare communities and build awareness around climate resilience.  

Introducing Help Fund: an NRMA Insurance initiative that aims to support climate resilience in Australia through a multi-million-dollar commitment over a number of years.

In the first year of the Fund2, it will provide $1 million to support emerging climate leaders, community resilience projects and innovative solutions that are focused on helping communities better prepare for the impacts of extreme weather.

Innovation Stream

The Help Fund will provide funding to support emerging climate leaders, community resilience projects and innovative solutions that are focused on helping communities better prepare for the impacts of extreme weather.

The Help Fund Innovation Stream will provide grants to support local climate innovations that aim to address risk, resilience, and adaptation.
