Western Australian Motor Industry Foundation Inc.
Low
Annual Giving
$100K
Grant Range
$5K – $500K
Tips for Applicants
This is not a typical grant-making foundation but rather a direct service provider. Families seeking assistance should apply directly through the website for van loans. Potential corporate or community partners interested in supporting the mission should contact the foundation directly about sponsorship opportunities or event participation.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation operates a direct service delivery model rather than traditional grant-making, providing in-kind mobility assistance (wheelchair accessible vehicle loans) to families with disabilities. Their giving is focused on practical, tangible support that enables independence and access to essential services rather than cash grants to other organisations.
