Moriarty Foundation
Tips for Applicants
Given the foundation's focus on Indigenous communities in NSW, NT, and QLD, applications should demonstrate clear community benefit and ideally Indigenous leadership or governance. As a smaller foundation (~$500k annual giving), they likely prefer targeted, impactful projects rather than large-scale programs. Consider emphasizing local community connections and measurable outcomes in these specific states.
Giving Philosophy
Appears to prioritize grassroots community initiatives with a strong emphasis on Indigenous communities and self-determination. The geographic focus on NSW, NT, and QLD suggests strategic targeting of regions with significant Indigenous populations and community development needs.
