To contribute to the long term benefit of our region by building community endowment, addressing needs through grant making and encouraging philanthropy.

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.
