VIVA Mutual Foundation Limited
About
VIVA Mutual Foundation Limited is the philanthropic arm of VIVA Mutual, an Adelaide-based not-for-profit disability and aged care service provider. The foundation operates under a social enterprise model founded by Dr Guy Turnbull, Arthur Mitsioulis, and Tanya Cole, focused on supporting people with disabilities and health care needs to live independently.
Tips for Applicants
Given VIVA Mutual Foundation's operational focus on disability and aged care service delivery, grantmaking appears secondary to service provision. Organizations seeking support should align with their cooperative model values, focus on South Australian community health and disability initiatives, and emphasize person-centered, dignity-focused approaches. Consider partnering with VIVA Mutual on service delivery rather than seeking traditional grants. Connection through their team of founders (Dr Guy Turnbull, Arthur Mitsioulis, Tanya Cole) may be valuable given their deep sector networks.
Giving Philosophy
Built on a cooperative Buurtzorg model emphasizing people before profit, VIVA Mutual Foundation supports initiatives that enable individuals to live lives of their choosing with dignity and respect. The foundation appears to focus on community-based health and disability support, with emphasis on self-managed care teams and person-centered approaches that empower both workers and service recipients.
