The Trustee For The Fairbrother Foundation
Tips for Applicants
Emphasise direct connection to Tasmania and Fairbrother's operational regions. Highlight any ties to the construction industry or employee connections. Applications should demonstrate measurable community impact, particularly in education, youth support, or housing/homelessness. Given their preference for established charities and long-term partnerships, consider how your program could integrate with their existing focus areas.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation prioritises causes that align with employee connections, youth education, and construction industry community impact. It values direct, tangible outcomes—partnering with established charities and providing scholarships to create measurable benefits. The foundation demonstrates a preference for multi-year commitments and building long-term partnerships with organisations like Hobart City Mission, UTAS, and The Smith Family.
