Community Grants

The Foundation wishes to invest as a "Social Entrepreneur" by assisting eligible grass roots, community-based organisations (with Deductible Gift Recipient status) through Grant Giving for innovative and creative projects, with a focus on Cultural Diversity and Social Cohesion, aimed at:

1. Encouraging leadership from culturally diverse groups or individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds

2. Building awareness and acceptance of the right to cultural identity and understanding of difference

3. Enhancing the social development of individuals and/or groups from culturally diverse communities by improving self-awareness, self-esteem, tolerance and communication

4. Fulfilling the potential of youth from multicultural backgrounds though education, mentorship and early intervention

5. Supporting issues-based research that focuses on achieving cohesive social change.

Our approach to Grant Giving seeks to identify and invest in ideas that endeavour to result in sustainable outcomes and benefits aimed at achieving social and structural change in supporting the creation of a more cohesive Australian society that will draw strength and pride from its diversity.
