Strengthening connected communities

Groups is where belonging, connection and community thrive on Facebook and where Aussies connect with a larger community around issues and topics important to them. Connection is strongest when people connect through Groups both online and in the real world, strengthening the social fabric of our communities.

Facebook Australia Groups Fund

To help Australians through this critical time, the Facebook Australia Groups Fund is a $500,000 investment in supporting grassroots response and recovery efforts, and initiatives building strong and resilient communities. From bushfires to pandemics, we’ve seen Australians using Facebook Groups to come together and find connection and belonging and get through when times are tough. Whether it’s for emotional support and to offer help, or to connect around unique interests or hobbies, Groups have provided a gateway for people to connect with their communities, at a time when they need it most.
