Chalice Supporting Communities
Chalice is committed to positively supporting local communities to deliver meaningful social and economic benefits in the areas where we operate. As a member of these communities, local employment, procurement, and funding are among the best ways Chalice can contribute.
Chalice has created its Community Investment Program to directly support community-based initiatives. If you have any questions about our investment program or would like to discuss a proposed project before submitting an application, please email us: community@chalicemining.com.
Congratulations to our recent successful applicants.
The next round of the Chalice Community Investment Program opens in February 2026. Click the button below for an online application or download the PDF version here: Sponsorship Application Form
The Investment Framework
