- Educate / up-skill the community

What will not be funded
- Organisational core operating costs such as funding for permanent staff members, insurance and utilities

- Projects that duplicate existing services and programs
- Projects with a sole religious or political purpose
- The advancement of sport is not considered as charitable activity by the ATO. Therefore, applications from sporting organisations need to clearly demonstrate a benefit to the wider community. Examples of charitable projects often championed by sporting groups include building and maintaining multi-purpose public facilities, all abilities programs, health promotion and leadership education
- The foundation will not consider projects that are vague, have insufficient value or that are of indeterminable value to the community.
- Projects that have already been completed, cannot receive retrospective funding under Charitable Law.
Criteria
- Grants will be awarded on the recommendation of the Elliot Springs Community Grants Program Advisory Board and will be assessed on how well project outcomes align with Lendlease’s social, economic and environmental priority areas. Applications that align with Lendlease core values will be highly regarded.
