The Robert and Christine Henshall Foundation
Low
Annual Giving
$25K
Grant Range
$1K – $100K
Tips for Applicants
Keep applications concise and focused on the foundation's stated priorities—health, education, environment, and social welfare for youth, children, and families. Given the small annual budget and Victorian focus, target organisations should be based in Victoria with clear, measurable outcomes for their beneficiary groups.
Giving Philosophy
This small foundation prioritises direct support to community organisations working with youth, children, and families in Victoria. Given its modest annual giving capacity, it likely favours focused, high-impact grants rather than broad funding. The foundation appears to value organisations that address fundamental needs in health, education, and social welfare for young people and early childhood development.
