In our approach to Grant Giving through our Expression of Interest process we are seeking to support projects that meet the Foundation’s Cultural Diversity and Social Cohesion focus through:

1. Multicultural Community-based organizations providing initiatives aimed at contributing to the Foundation’s mission, and
   
   
2. Ideas at the early stage of their development which may lead to an ongoing relationship and a future more significant level of funding support for projects over a number of years
   
   

Organisations wishing to seek this initial funding support, generally of the order of $5,000 up to $25,000, for projects aimed at the areas set out in the “Grant Giving” webpage, are required to forward a completed Expression of Interest form, together with supporting documentation, to:

Email between 1st February 2010 to 28th February 2010
for possible funding commencing in May/June 2010.

The Foundation through this initial grant giving experience seeks to identify organizations with a shared mission and proven organizational capabilities that they might approach in future to invite innovative and creative project opportunities for multi-year funding though the development of a detailed Business Plan.
