The Serp Hills Foundation

Board Interlocks (1 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

The foundation approaches giving by supporting registered charities that align with its objectives of fostering education, improving health outcomes, promoting the arts, and providing broad community support. Their grant-making often targets specific vulnerable groups, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, youth, those experiencing homelessness, migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and individuals in rural/regional/remote communities.

Tips for Applicants

As the foundation does not have a public website detailing application processes, potential applicants should review their stated charitable objectives and past grant recipients on the ACNC Register to understand alignment. Direct outreach via the provided email address (serphillsfoundation@gmail.com) may be an option, but it's important to note they do not intend to fundraise, suggesting they are proactive grantmakers rather than accepting unsolicited applications.
