The June Canavan Foundation supports projects that create sustainable outcomes and allow people to help themselves in accordance with the principle of ‘a hand up, not a hand out’.

The focus areas for The June Canavan Foundation are:

• Sport
• Education
• Health
• Conservation 

The JCF can also play a valuable role in growing the philanthropic sector, and in being a model and inspiration for other small to medium scale foundations. On this basis, a fifth focus area was added:

• Growing Giving
