The Windeward Bound Trust
Tips for Applicants
As a medium-sized charity with a specific focus on Tasmania and youth sail-training programs, prospective applicants should demonstrate clear alignment with the trust's mission of youth development through maritime activities. Given the organisation's hands-on, skills-based approach, programs that offer tangible training opportunities and pathways to employment for disadvantaged young people in Tasmania would be well-received.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation approaches its giving through direct program delivery, using sail training and maritime restoration as vehicles for youth development, skill-building, and personal growth. It values hands-on learning experiences that help young people develop character, enterprise, and workforce-ready skills, with particular emphasis on supporting disadvantaged and at-risk youth.
