Tips for Applicants
Applicants should clearly demonstrate how their project aligns with the foundation's broad social welfare purpose and specifically targets one or more of its listed vulnerable beneficiary groups within Victoria. Given its medium annual giving, projects seeking smaller to medium-sized grants may be a good fit.
Giving Philosophy
The Newsboys Foundation approaches its giving with a long-standing commitment to social welfare, prioritizing direct support for vulnerable populations. It values initiatives that address disadvantage and improve the lives of a broad spectrum of at-risk individuals and communities within Victoria.
