Tips for Applicants
Focus on demonstrating clear alignment with health, cultural, or social welfare outcomes in Victoria. Given the modest annual giving of $25,000, applications should emphasise local impact and community benefit in the Victorian context. Organisations should keep proposals focused and demonstrate strong local presence and accountability.
