Tips for Applicants
Start with an email enquiry before submitting a written application. Include evidence of ACNC charity registration and ATO DGR endorsement. Your application should detail what is needed and why, who will benefit, timeframes, execution plan, collaborative partners, expected outcomes with measurement methods, and a detailed project budget. Submit annual reports with audited financial statements. The foundation values open communication throughout the process and may request meetings or site visits.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes all Australians should have access to affordable, safe and sustainable housing. They particularly seek to support organisations that are unable to rely on high profile fundraising from other sectors, indicating a preference for funding less visible, community-based charities. Their granting priorities are reviewed annually and approved by the Directors.
