Tips for Applicants
Applicants should verify current program availability and guidelines directly with QBE, as the listed sustainability and foundation-related web pages are currently returning 404 errors. An alternative path might be the 'QBE in the community' link found in the website's footer.
Giving Philosophy
As a corporate foundation, it is likely guided by QBE's corporate social responsibility principles, aiming to support and strengthen Australian communities and acknowledge Indigenous heritage, as indicated by its thematic focus and public acknowledgement of Traditional Owners.
