FareShare Australia Ltd

About

FareShare Australia operates the country's largest charity kitchens, rescuing surplus food and transforming it into cooked, nutritious meals for people facing hardship. The organisation supports vulnerable individuals including homeless people, families affected by natural disasters, and First Nations communities with limited access to nutritious food.

Government Funding ($100K)

Giving Philosophy

FareShare operates an operational model rather than traditional grantmaking — it runs its own kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane, cooks millions of meals annually, and partners with charity organisations to distribute meals. Its approach centres on food rescue, sustainability, and direct service delivery to address food insecurity.

Tips for Applicants

As a operational charity rather than a traditional grantmaker, FareShare does not accept grant applications in the conventional sense. Partnerships with other charities for meal distribution or food rescue collaborations would be the appropriate approach to work with this organisation.
