APPLYING FOR A GRANT

Am I currently able to apply for a grant?

To ensure that only organisations likely to receive support invest time in preparing applications, we invite a small number of applications to the Trust each year, and discourage unsolicited applications.

If your organization requires support and is a Victorian-based charity seeking to:

  • build connection, capability and capacity in communities; or
  • address educational disadvantage through community-based partnerships

you are welcome to contact us.

Select organisations addressing the priority areas will be asked to submit a brief expression of interest. Following the expression of interest, a small number of organisations will be asked to submit a full application.
