Tips for Applicants

Emphasise alignment with Christian values of compassion and community service, demonstrate direct impact on vulnerable populations, and show how funds will be reinvested into local communities. Given the small annual giving of $100,000, focus on smaller-scale, grassroots projects with clear community benefit.

Giving Philosophy

Foundation 1 reinvests funds raised into local communities or allocates to agreed projects, focusing on direct community support and emergency relief. As a Christian faith-based organisation independent of any denomination, it values compassion, service, and faith-driven impact, prioritising grassroots community needs over administrative overhead.
