Tips for Applicants

Prospective partners or supporters should align with the foundation's mission of using sport for community empowerment in Melbourne's West and Ballarat. Focus on collaborating with their existing programs in health, education, and leadership, rather than seeking traditional grants for external projects.

Giving Philosophy

This foundation operates by running its own life-changing programs, rather than primarily offering grants to external organisations. It values inclusivity, community empowerment, and the use of sport as a vehicle for social change, focusing on health, wellbeing, diversity, and gender equity. They seek partners, volunteers, and donors to support their specific initiatives.
