Overview
Applications will be accepted for projects that align with the Foundation’s four grant streams.
- Food and Emergency Support
- Health, Resilience and Connection
- Education and Employment; and
- Environment and Sustainability
Option 1 - Small Grant Application - $1,000 to $15,000 - See application form here
For the first time, the Foundation has introduced a small grant application option. This process will support organisations seeking funding between $1,000 and $15,000. The application requirements for small grants require less information than the main grant program.
Application for a small grant will support one-off activity which can be completed within 12 months.
Option 2 – Main Grant Application – $15,001 to $100,000 - See application form here
Applications for grants of $15,001- $100,000 should be completed on the Foundation’s Main Grant Application Form.
Please note that only a small number of large grants ($50,000+) and multi-year grants are available. If you intend to submit an application for a large or multi-year grant, please contact our Program and Impact Manager Charlotte Walker via 03 5244 7831 or grants@geelongfoundation.org to discuss your application.
