Funding Principles

Each funding application is assessed on its individual merits and the Foundation looks for projects that are innovative, sustainable and effective.

Applications will be considered by the Advisory Committee from many perspectives, including community needs, practicality and measurable impact.

The Foundation normally will provide annual funding but multi-year funding may be granted in special circumstances.

The Foundation encourages broader donor participation and encourages requests for matching funds.

The Foundation does not cover:

• Requests for deficit funding
• Endowments or funding raising campaigns
• Initiatives that benefit specific individuals
• Entertainment activities
• Requests for capital and/or equipment expenses
• Disaster relief work
