Tips for Applicants
This organization is a service provider rather than a grant-maker. Those seeking support should contact them directly to access NDIS-funded services. Organizations seeking partnerships should note they focus on direct service delivery rather than grant-making.
Giving Philosophy
As an NDIS provider and registered charity, The Salt Foundation does not operate as a traditional grant-making foundation. Rather, it provides direct support services to people with disabilities, funneling any surplus profits back into community projects. Its approach emphasizes personalized, relationship-based support that evolves with participants over time.
