Balnaves Foundation Grants

The Balnaves Foundation supports Australian not-for-profit organisations that work in the arts, health and education, with a focus on initiatives that benefit young people, First Nations and those facing disadvantage.

There are no specific grant rounds for the General EOI process and submissions are generally open year round.

The Foundation only supports grants delivered in Australia by Australian not-for-profit organisations. The Foundation prefers to support multi-year projects with a funding range of $150,000 – $250,000 per annum.

Within the health space, The Balnaves Foundation is focused on supporting projects that deliver significantly improved health outcomes for young Australians through the prevention and early intervention of chronic health conditions.

Please note that the Foundation’s trustees meet four times a year. If your EOI moves forward to the Proposal stage it may take between 3-6 months from your initial EOI submission for it to be presented at a Trustee meeting. The Foundation recommends timing your EOI submission to allow for this. Submissions received less than 3 months before the commencement date are unlikely to progress.

Due to limited capacity the Foundation team is unable to accept meeting requests or review applications prior to submission.
