THE TRUSTEE FOR THE GIANTS FOUNDATION TRUST
Tips for Applicants
The foundation primarily funds programs through partnerships and sponsorships rather than open grant rounds. Focus on aligning with their four pillars (Health, Harmony, Education, Employment) and demonstrate connection to Western Sydney, Regional NSW, or ACT communities. Indigenous and multicultural engagement are priorities. Proposals should show measurable community impact rather than just sporting outcomes.
Giving Philosophy
The GIANTS Foundation believes sport has unique power to unify people across cultural backgrounds, genders, and ages. They operate on the principle that linking elite sporting platforms with genuine community engagement creates meaningful social change. Their approach combines direct community programs with supporting elite pathways (Academy, AFLW, facilities) as a 'two-way street' where on-field success amplifies community impact and community connection fuels team identity. They explicitly tie their Reconciliation Action Plan to community pillars, moving through Innovate stage.
