CID FOUNDATION LTD
Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
Given the small scale and specific focus areas (autism/ARFID support, Auslan/Deaf community), prospective applicants should demonstrate alignment with these niche disability and community areas. The foundation appears to work primarily through partnerships with existing specialist organisations rather than open grant programs.
Giving Philosophy
Founded on personal family experience, CID Foundation aims to create societal inclusion by providing resources, raising awareness, and building community for marginalized groups. Their theory of change focuses on direct support to families and individuals, advocacy for neuroaffirming practices, and partnerships with specialist organisations to bridge service gaps.
