Tips for Applicants

Given the foundation's focus on visual arts and cultural exchange, applicants should emphasise cross-cultural impact and meaningful engagement between Australian and French communities. The foundation appears to support projects that align with the 25th Biennale of Sydney and Resonance Grants Visual Arts programmes, so demonstrating connection to broader cultural events may strengthen applications.

Giving Philosophy

FACEF approaches its giving by creating spaces for meaningful cultural dialogue and exchange, particularly in visual arts and photography. The foundation values projects that foster cross-cultural understanding and engagement between Australian and French communities, with particular respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures.
