The Trustee for The Dickinson Foundation
Giving Philosophy
The Dickinson Foundation believes sport provides long-term returns for physical and mental health, personal wellbeing, and community cohesion. It prioritises direct support to locally-run, volunteer-managed community clubs through equipment and uniforms rather than large institutional recipients, and actively seeks to remove barriers to participation for disadvantaged and disabled youth. The foundation values partnership approaches, working with the Australian Sports Foundation and others to maximise impact.
Tips for Applicants
Target this funder if your organisation is a grassroots, volunteer-run junior sports club lacking resources for equipment or uniforms, or if you operate programs serving financially disadvantaged or disabled young people in sport. Applications should emphasise community impact, volunteer capacity, and how funding directly enables youth participation in sport.
Notable Grants
