Tips for Applicants

As a trust that supports the Save the Children Australia organisation, rather than a traditional grant-making foundation, direct applications for funding by external organisations are not applicable.

Giving Philosophy

Save the Children Australia, supported by this Trust, is deeply committed to keeping children’s voices at the centre of everything they do, working to give a powerful voice to children, generate systemic change, and provide high-quality services children need to fulfil their rights. Their approach is rights-based, evidence-informed, and focuses on positive, strong, and sustainable outcomes for children. They advocate for systemic reforms, respond to crises, and deliver long-term development programs.
