The Bushfire Foundation Inc
Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
Given the small scale and volunteer-driven nature of this foundation, direct personal contact is recommended. They respond to property preparedness requests from vulnerable residents and community groups. For recovery grants, they previously accepted applications during disaster response periods—monitor their website for grant round announcements.
Giving Philosophy
They focus on hands-on, practical community assistance rather than large-scale grant-making. Their approach emphasizes direct action—helping elderly, injured or financially disadvantaged residents prepare their properties against bushfire risks, combined with post-disaster recovery grants to affected communities.
Notable Grants
■$55,249 distributed to bushfire victims from 2019/20 bushfires across VIC, NSW and SA
