Steer Incorporated
About
Steer Incorporated is a not-for-profit charitable foundation established in 1962 that serves as a giving platform helping donors support missions and outreach work in Australia and internationally. The organization acts as a steward for donor resources, facilitating tax-efficient giving to Christian mission agencies and religious organizations. It has distributed over $76 million to more than 700 mission and outreach agencies worldwide.
Tips for Applicants
As a faith-based giving platform that partners with donors rather than a traditional grantmaker, direct grant applications may not be the primary pathway. Organizations seeking support should focus on establishing relationships with Steer's donor community and demonstrating alignment with Christian mission objectives. The foundation appears to work primarily with established mission agencies rather than providing grants to individual projects.
Giving Philosophy
Steer acts as a charitable giving vehicle that aggregates donor contributions and distributes them to vetted mission and outreach agencies. The foundation values efficient stewardship of donor resources and partners with individuals, families, and organizations to support Christian missions and evangelistic work domestically and abroad.
