Tips for Applicants

This foundation operates almost entirely through self-organized events rather than open grant programs. They do not appear to accept unsolicited applications - they identify causes and partners themselves. Best approach would be to get on their radar through networking at their events or via existing contacts in the Australian charity/tennis/entertainment communities.

Giving Philosophy

Event-driven philanthropy - organizing entertaining, high-profile functions (tennis events, comedy nights, art exhibitions, concerts) that are 'bloody good fun' while raising funds for worthy causes. They partner with celebrities, artists, and community figures to maximize fundraising impact and awareness.
