Eric and Margot Cooper Foundation
Tips for Applicants
As a small, recently established foundation with limited annual giving of $25,000, applicants should focus on demonstrating direct impact on Victorian communities, particularly in the housing and financial hardship sectors. Given the lack of a public website, direct outreach through ACNC registers or local networks in the Murrumbeena/Victorian philanthropic community may be necessary. Keep applications focused on core beneficiary groups: children, families, homeless populations, and veterans.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation appears to focus on direct support to vulnerable community members, with particular attention to those facing housing insecurity and financial hardship. Given its recent establishment and small annual giving capacity, it likely prioritises grassroots organisations and direct service providers working in Victoria.
