THE TAVS FOUNDATION LIMITED
Concentration RiskBoard Interlocks (2 shared directors)
Giving Philosophy
Believes in 'giving a sporting chance' through cricket as a vehicle for social inclusion and equality. Focuses on removing financial and social barriers that prevent people with disabilities from participating in organized sport, with particular emphasis on creating pathways from local participation through to national and international representation.
Tips for Applicants
Taverners focuses specifically on inclusive cricket programs for people with disabilities. They prefer multi-year partnerships with established organizations (like the 3-year MAACA commitment) rather than one-off grants. Demonstrate how your program creates pathways for disabled athletes from local participation to state/national representation. Show evidence of integration with mainstream cricket clubs rather than segregated programs. Consider fundraising partnerships like their Raffle program where organizations can earn 80% of proceeds while supporting Taverners' mission. Contact state chapters directly (Victoria appears most active) rather than applying nationally.

Disability Market Context
NDIS LayerThis organisation shows disability-related delivery signals. The strategic question is whether it sits inside a resilient market, a thin market, or a captured market where large providers take most of the money and local alternatives are scarce.
