Henderson Foundation
Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
Organisations should emphasise educational outcomes or support for people with chronic illness within Queensland. Given the modest annual giving of $25,000, applications should be from smaller organisations or for specific, focused projects rather than large-scale initiatives.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation prioritises education initiatives alongside support for vulnerable populations, particularly those managing chronic illness. Its long-standing presence since 1957 suggests a commitment to sustained, community-focused philanthropy within Queensland.
