Tips for Applicants

For Choir and Organ Scholarships, interested individuals should contact the Pilgrim Uniting Church via their 'Contact' page.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation's giving is rooted in the mission of the Pilgrim Uniting Church, demonstrating a commitment to social justice, community care, indigenous reconciliation, and the fostering of arts, particularly music and heritage. They support initiatives for marginalized people, those experiencing homelessness, refugees, and advocate for climate action. A notable commitment includes devoting a percentage of general foundation funds to the SA Regional Council of Congress, partly as reparation for benefits from the sale of unceded Kaurna land.

Notable Grants

Funding for the Sunday Night Tea (SNT) program for people experiencing homelessness, disadvantage, or social isolation.
Support for the Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC).
Support for refugees with living costs through Pilgrim's Circle of Friends.
Donations to Uniting World projects in Maluku and Timor Leste, and a ministry project in Fiji.
Grants to cover extra maintenance work for the Pilgrim Uniting Church.
Support for the 'Music on Flinders program' for young adults living with a disability.
