The Audi Foundation
About
The Audi Foundation is a corporate philanthropic foundation funded by Audi Australia and its dealer network. It supports progressive charities driving meaningful change through a grants program focused on medical technology and treatment, education and career futures (particularly STEM), and positive mental health outcomes. Since 2021, it also supports community-based projects that rebuild, renew and sustain Australian communities and the environment.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation values innovative, progressive approaches that create measurable impact in its focus areas. It selects recipients through its Grants Program, prioritising charities that align with its three core focus areas and demonstrates ability to drive meaningful change in Australia.
Tips for Applicants
Align your proposal clearly with one of their focus areas (medical technology, STEM education, mental health, or community support) and demonstrate measurable outcomes. They have established partnerships with specific charities, so showing how your organisation complements or extends their existing work may strengthen your application.
