National Heart Foundation Of Australia (A.C.T. Division)
Giving Philosophy
The Heart Foundation operates on a theory of change focused on prevention, early intervention, and research to reduce heart disease burden across Australia. They prioritize disadvantaged and vulnerable populations, aiming for equitable health outcomes. Their approach combines public health campaigns, clinical guideline development, community programs (like Heart Foundation Walking), First Nations-specific initiatives (Champions4Change for rheumatic heart disease), and research funding to drive systemic improvements in heart health.
Tips for Applicants
The Heart Foundation has a dedicated SmartSimple grants portal for research funding applications. For community programs, they prioritize evidence-based initiatives that address their strategic priorities: prevention, support, care, and research. They have a strong focus on First Nations health outcomes and equity, so programs targeting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities or culturally diverse populations may receive preference. The foundation values lived experience and co-design approaches, particularly in First Nations program delivery.
