Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes in making a positive impact where their families live and work, with a strong preference for grassroots organisations and first-time applicants. They prioritise projects addressing demonstrable community need, potential benefit to beneficiaries, and organisational capacity to deliver. The foundation encourages pre-application discussions to ensure alignment and provides tips for successful applications. They value engagement beyond written applications and offer follow-up meetings to learn more about applicant organisations.
Tips for Applicants
Contact the foundation before submitting an application to discuss alignment and receive tips on successful submissions. They use a funding portal for submissions. The foundation values organisations with limited grant-writing experience and offers follow-up meetings (in-person, Zoom/Teams, or phone) as part of the assessment process. For the Youth Impact Grant, ensure your nominated charity has ACNC registration, TCC endorsement, and DGR1 status before applying. Emphasise community need, expected benefit, and your organisation's capacity to deliver.
