Ant Packaging is a proud member of the Bangalow community on the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. Ant Packaging is a member of the Bangalow Chamber of Commerce and a contributor to local sporting and other community clubs.

Beyond our local community Ant Packaging is a Silver Sponsor of Surfaid International, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the alleviation of human suffering through community-based health programs.

Ant Packaging's sponsorship helps to:

• improve the health and quality of life of community members using a sustainable community-based approach;
• assist vulnerable communities prepare for future disasters;
• support, fund and advise local organisations committed to improving the quality of life of community members.

This work is being carried out in the Mentawai Islands and on Nias Island off Sumatra, Indonesia – areas so devastated by the earthquakes of September 2007.

A little closer to home, Ant Packaging is committed to assisting Australia's Indigenous population develop the capabilities to choose a life that they have reason to value. Our annual donation to the Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership helps fund The Institute's Higher Expectations Program (HEP) to increase the number of indigenous children that finish high school and go on to tertiary studies. These people will then provide Cape York communities with a pool of talented and educated future leaders.

The Cape York Institute was established in July 2004 as an independent policy and leadership organisation. The Institute champions reform in Indigenous economic and social policies and is led by Noel Pearson, an Aboriginal leader and activist.
