Overview and checklist

Thank you for making a submission for the Alcoans Coming Together In Our Neighbourhoods (ACTION) program for 2026.

ACTION grants of $3,000 are available to non-profit organisations in recognition of volunteer contributions from Alcoa employees.  

At Alcoa, employee volunteering and supporting grassroots organisations is an integral part of our culture. Through initiatives like our ACTION grants, we collectively create positive and lasting impacts in the communities where we operate.

 To apply for an Alcoa ACTION grant:  

  • At least 8 Alcoa employees must volunteer at a one-off volunteer activity for a valid and approved non-profit organisation or participate in an official, public wellness event (e.g. a fun run open to anyone in the community) that benefits a recognised charity.  
  • Valid registration certificates for the non-profit organisation in question must be provided. 
  • Non-profit organisations must be registered as a valid non-profit or non-government organisation (NGO) under the national law. 
  • Employees must complete a combined total of at least 32 hours of volunteering for a valid and approved non-profit organisation OR complete a public, official wellness activity event (e.g. a fun run open to anyone in the community) that benefits a recognised charity.  
  • Where possible, ACTION volunteering should occur on employees’ own time. Approval for ACTION volunteering during work time is at the discretion of line leaders and site management. 
  • Non-profit organisations and charities must commit to working with the lead Alcoa employee to complete this ACTION Grant Application Form and, a subsequent ACTION Grant Acquittal Form at the conclusion of the nominated activity and prior to any grant being paid.  
  • Applications must be submitted by 6 March 2026.  

 
ACTION volunteering activities must not occur prior to receiving approval of the grant. Successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified in early April 2026.
