Who Do We Fund?
The Foundation provides grants to a broad range of organisations working with young people and children in Victoria. The grants focus on young people and children who have experienced some form of disadvantage, such as financial, social, emotional, physical and intellectual. The programs address a range of needs, including education, social inclusion, health, housing and financial.
The programs provide a connecting point for young people and children who would otherwise be marginalised in some way, and give them opportunities to build their life skills and confidence. Educational programs, camps and arts projects are just a few of the types of programs that we support.
Like our colleagues before us, we continue to work to make our community a more inclusive and positive environment for all. We look for programs that are innovative, address community needs, and have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of young people and children and that provide opportunities for them to realize their full potential.
Where programs have the potential to be adapted and replicated in other communities, we work with others to make this happen. Smaller, grassroots community organisations that encourage the active involvement of young people are well represented in our list of grant recipients.
