People First Bank Foundation
Concentration RiskAbout
You’re invited to join us in making a real difference in people’s lives by donating to the Foundation and supporting our Australia-wide grants program.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation takes a holistic approach to giving, believing that direct financial support alone is insufficient. It seeks to harness the collective strength of the People First Bank community through staff involvement, member engagement, and business partner collaborations. The foundation values high-quality programs that create sustainable, long-term positive impacts and reach people in need across their national footprint.
Tips for Applicants
Focus your application on demonstrating measurable, long-term impacts rather than one-off outcomes. Emphasize how your program addresses the foundation's three focus areas: supporting people in crisis, healthcare for vulnerable populations, or breaking down barriers to education for youth. Highlight any collaborative elements or ways the charity could benefit from broader community support beyond just funding.
