Tips for Applicants

The foundation does not accept grant applications and is not currently seeking them. They prefer to identify and approach organisations directly. They seek charities with well-defined objectives, clear success metrics, positive culture, low overheads, and willingness to report both successes and failures. They view themselves as investors and partners rather than passive donors.

Notable Grants

Funding to Sacred Heart Mission Women's House for homeless women in Melbourne
Funding to Paralympics Australia's Paralympic Education Program
Co-funder of Fault Lines COVID-19 Review with Paul Ramsay Foundation and Minderoo Foundation
