The Harcourts Foundation

Giving Philosophy

The Harcourts Foundation believes in supporting as many people as possible within their communities through a broad community welfare approach. They fund specific events, projects, items, or initiatives that benefit local communities, with a focus on organizations that have both Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) and Tax Concession Charity (TCC) status. Grants must be used within 4 months of the decision date and cannot fund items already purchased, individual needs, overseas travel, or religious/political causes.

Tips for Applicants

Organizations must have BOTH DGR and TCC status to apply. Grants cannot fund items already purchased or events already held. Projects must occur within 4 months of grant decision. The foundation does not fund individual needs, overseas travel, or religious/political activities. If successful, organizations cannot apply again for 18 months. Applications are considered independently each round regardless of previous success.
