The Trustee For Bible Society Foundation
Tips for Applicants
Organisations interested in receiving support should be frontline chaplains, churches, or ministry partners actively engaged in disaster recovery, trauma support, or outreach to vulnerable populations within Australia. The focus is on providing scripture resources and spiritual support rather than monetary grants.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation's giving philosophy centers on 'opening the Bible' for Australians experiencing crisis, providing gospel-centred care, and spiritual support. They believe in equipping chaplains, churches, and ministries with scripture to help individuals process trauma, find forgiveness, and discover hope in God's Word, fostering personal spiritual transformation and resilience.
