Sustainable Giving Grants

For $150,000 over three years

Best suited to established or high-potential programs requiring multi-year investment to achieve lasting impact.

Sustainable Giving Grants are designed to support organisations delivering meaningful, long-term impact in their communities.

These grants provide multi-year funding for established programs that address complex or persistent challenges — where consistent support can strengthen outcomes and create lasting change. They will also consider well-designed pilot programs where the need is clearly demonstrated and there is a strong case for future impact.

General Giving Grants

For one-off funding up to $50,000

Best suited to one-off or short-term funding where a single grant can deliver immediate, practical outcomes.

General Giving Grants provide flexible, one-off funding for organisations responding to immediate or emerging community needs.

These grants support practical, on-the-ground projects where funding can make a direct and timely difference — whether that’s delivering food relief, supporting families in crisis, enabling access to essential services, or purchasing critical equipment required for service delivery (such as vehicles, tools, or program resources).
