Tips for Applicants

Given the foundation's small annual giving of $25,000 and regional focus, applicants should demonstrate strong connections to the Wangoom/Warrnambool area in Victoria. Applications aligned with the founders' known areas of support (CFA, school chaplaincy, disability services, community halls) may be viewed favourably. Keep applications local and community-focused.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation continues the legacy of Bill and Lindsay Brodie's community-minded approach, supporting local organisations that benefit regional and rural communities. Priority appears to be given to causes the founders supported during their lifetimes, including emergency services, school chaplaincy, and community welfare organisations in the Wangoom and Warrnambool region.
