Community Care
We provide support and opportunities for local communities throughout the Pilbara region

We believe in being here for local communities.
We don’t believe in winning at all costs – we believe in win-win thinking, so that everyone can benefit from our presence in the Pilbara. We support local communities in a number of areas, including education & youth support, health, economic development, environment, arts & culture, social welfare & aid and emergency relief.
Atlas Helping Hands
Twice a year we provide grants through our Atlas Helping Hands grants program. This program provides essential financial boosts and support to small and community-based non-profit organisations, who operate where we do in the Pilbara, at the grassroots level.

Philanthropic grants program
Our Philanthropic grants program provides grants to organisations that Atlas employees are affiliated with or volunteer with. This is just one of the meaningful ways that we encourage medium to long term philanthropic partnerships and support our employees who are actively giving back to the community.
Engaged leadership
The Vinnies CEO Sleepout raises funds and awareness for those experiencing homelessness in Australia. In 2020 our CEO Sanjiv Manchanda was the leading fundraiser within Western Australia and the second-highest fundraiser in Australia, thanks to many personal donations and support from the Atlas team.
WE VALUE HEALTH, SAFETY & WELLBEING
