Tips for Applicants

Applicants should clearly demonstrate how their proposed work aligns with the Heart Foundation's vision of an Australia free of heart disease and its mission to improve heart health. Particular emphasis should be placed on addressing priority areas such as socially and economically disadvantaged communities, regional/rural/remote populations, culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. For research grants, highlight the potential for high-impact change and innovation. Be prepared to articulate how ideas contribute to reducing risk, providing support/care, or advancing research.

Giving Philosophy

The Heart Foundation approaches giving through a multi-faceted strategy encompassing risk reduction, support, care, and significant investment in cardiovascular research. They are committed to good governance, open and with integrity, aligned with ACNC Governance Standards. Their 'Catalyst Partnership Grants' aim to accelerate game-changing health innovations, focusing on high-impact ideas that might not fit traditional funding models. They also prioritize culturally safe and equitable health outcomes for First Nations peoples.
