Tips for Applicants

The Foundation supports institutional research and welfare projects for children, often involving universities and hospitals. While an 'annual Grants process' is mentioned, no public application portal or guidelines are available (the 'apply for a grant' page leads to a 404). Potential applicants should likely inquire directly or through established relationships, especially for large-scale research proposals, rather than expecting an open call for applications.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation's core purpose is to promote the health and welfare of Australian children. It operates on a 'dollar in / dollar out' basis, ensuring that all donated funds are allocated directly to grants and projects, with administrative costs covered by volunteers' time and corporate sponsors from Australia's financial community.
