Deadline: 3-Nov-21
Applications are now open for Harcourts Foundation’s Grant Program to provide support that helps, grows, and enriches their communities.
They have a clear focus on providing grants to reputable community-based charitable organizations which need funding for projects and initiatives designed to benefit as many people as possible.
What will not be funded
Please do not submit funding requests for:
- Individual needs –their focus is on supporting as many people as possible within their communities.
- Overseas or other travel costs – (individuals or groups) unless a direct community benefit can be shown.
- Religious, political, lobby causes/activities.
Eligibility Criteria
The organisation applying for a grant MUST be the organisation which will run the project for which the grant is being sought.
Guidelines
- 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 the upcoming Grant decision meeting date (meetings are held in the month following the end of the quarter).
- 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 it to another deserving group.
- They may ask for supporting documents such as quotes, references etc.
- If you are a branch of an organisation 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 apply within the next 18 months, as they would like to assist other organisations.
- You may apply as a national or regional organisation, however your application must be for a specific community event, project, item, or initiative that fits the criteria.
