Deadline: 30-Sep-21
The Harcourts Foundation is seeking applications for its Grant Program to change lives and make dreams come true – the work of The Harcourts Foundation is a continuation of this.
Focus Areas
They have a clear focus on providing grants to reputable community-based, non-profit organizations which need funding for projects and initiatives designed to benefit as many people as possible. They will prioritize applications that demonstrate that their grant will have the widest community impact. (As they develop over time, their focus may change to reflect the focus and interests of those contributing to and guiding the Harcourts Foundation).
Guidelines
- The organization applying for the grant MUST be a non-profit.
- Grant applications must be for a specific event, project, item or initiative.
- Requests for the event, project, item or initiative must be scheduled to occur within four months of receiving the grant.
- Grants will not be given for items already purchased or events/initiatives/projects already held.
- If the grant is not used for the purpose for which it was applied, they will request that you return it so they can provide to another group elsewhere. They may ask for supporting documents such as quotes.
- If you are a branch of an organization where another branch has been successful in achieving a grant from them in the past, this does not mean you automatically qualify for a grant. Each application will be considered independently based on funds available and circumstances at the time.
- If you are successful, please do not reapply within the next 18 months, as they would like to assist other organizations.
- You may apply as a national or regional organization; however your application must be for a specific community event, project, item or initiative that fits the criteria.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Harcourts Foundation is an endorsed tax concession charity and Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) as of 1 April 2008. Being registered as a DGR enables The Harcourts Foundation to receive income tax deductible gifts and deductible contributions.
- Under the terms of the Trust Deed of The Harcourts Foundation and Australian taxation laws, The Harcourts Foundation can only make grants to organisations with BOTH Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) and Tax Concession Charity (TCC) status. Accordingly, please ensure that your organization has BOTH DGR and TCC status before completing an application.

- Individual needs – such as salaries and wages. Their focus is on supporting as many people as possible within their communities.
- Overseas or other travel costs.
