The Ballarat Catholic Bishops' Charitable Fund
Giving Philosophy
The foundation's giving philosophy is deeply rooted in the Catholic Diocese of Ballarat's vision, which emphasizes 'joyful and humble service,' 'caring for all of God’s creation,' and 'growing in love.' It aims to support activities that uphold Gospel teachings, are nourished by the Eucharist, and foster a 'community of communities' through its diverse services and ministries, including welfare, education, and social justice.
Tips for Applicants
As this fund is an arm of the Catholic Diocese of Ballarat, potential applicants should focus on proposals that align closely with the Diocese's stated vision, mission, and current pastoral and social justice priorities. Reviewing the 'Services and Ministries' section and recent news articles on the Diocese's website for insight into their active areas of engagement would be beneficial. Projects should ideally demonstrate a clear connection to Catholic values and serve communities within or relevant to the Diocese's broader national mandate.
