Impact100 WA is a collective giving group providing high-impact grants to local, Western Australian not-for-profits.

In 2025 Impact100 WA will consider applications for initiatives that aim to meet the following objectives:

• Make a significant and measurable difference to an under-served cause or population in WA.
• Address a specific need, for a specific duration and achieve specific measurable outcomes.

As guidance, donors to Impact100 WA have a preference for:

• Initiatives that deliver more widespread outcomes.
• Lesser-known, smaller Western Australian based not-for-profit organisations.

Applications are invited for any one of the following focus areas:

1. Arts & Culture – Initiatives that cultivate, develop, and enhance the cultural and artistic climate in WA.
2. Education – Initiatives that provide learning opportunities or improve access to education for children and/or adults in WA.
3. Environment – Initiatives that restore, preserve, revitalise or enhance the natural or recreational surroundings of WA.
4. Health & Wellness – Initiatives that positively impact the mental and/or physical well-being of people in WA.
5. Family & Community – Initiatives that strengthen and enhance the lives of children, families and communities in WA

Eligibility:

Impact100 WA has developed criteria and guidelines in conjunction with Australian Communities Foundation and will only consider applications which meet ALL of the following:

• Initiative aligns with at least one of our focus areas (see above).
• Organisation has been operating for at least 36 months.
• Organisation has Tax Concession Charity status from the ATO.
• Organisation has Deductible Gift Recipient (Item 1) status from the ATO.
• Organisation has an annual operating budget/revenue of under $5 million and over $100,000. (Applications from organisations with an operating budget outside this range may be accepted at the discretion of the Impact100 WA Committee).

• Applications will be accepted from all states and territories of Australia for initiatives conducted within Western Australia and benefiting Western Australians.
• Impact100 WA prefer to be a primary funding partner for the initiative and where possible have other funding sources confirmed.
• Applications will NOT be accepted from
  • Religious organisations where the grant is intended for the principal benefit of the organisation's own members or adherents, or where the grant is intended for inherently religious activities.
  • Organisations who are a conduit passing funding to others, rather than being the entity performing the on-ground work themselves.
