Top Contracts (1)
Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes in the 'quiet power of place' and supports creative communities through thoughtful stewardship and shared purpose. It values accessibility, inclusivity, and place-based engagement, actively working to ensure the Convent is 'truly open-hearted' by removing barriers to participation. The foundation prioritises partnerships with feminist history collectives, women's organisations, and community-led initiatives that celebrate diverse voices and cultural contributions.
Tips for Applicants
Organisations should align with the Convent's focus on arts, culture, community access, and inclusivity. Proposals addressing underrepresented narratives (particularly women's stories and Indigenous perspectives), place-based cultural engagement, or creative practice development are likely to resonate with this funder's values.

Social Enterprise
Four kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, Abbotsford Convent is Australia’s largest multi-arts precinct—a place of art, culture and learning. Renowned for its history, built and natural landscapes, and community-led campaign to preserve it from commercial development, the site was enshrined on Australia’s National Heritage List in 2017. Today, the precinct is managed by the Abbotsford Convent Foundation, a not-for-profit, social enterprise.
