Tips for Applicants

As a service-delivery charity that also makes donations, applicants should emphasize alignment with their mission of compassionate care, support for vulnerable people (especially women, children, and the homeless), and contributions to health, aged care, community, education, or religious initiatives. Demonstrating how projects alleviate suffering or care for 'Mother Earth' would also be relevant.
