Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Grants are Now Open!

Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Grants are Now Open!

Not-for-profit and charity organisations seeking funding for local projects are encouraged to apply for a Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation grant.

Newly appointed Charitable Foundation Chair, Jennifer Leslie, is urging all community-based not-for-profit organisations that have new or existing projects that address key areas of health, young people, and social disadvantage to apply for funding.

“Local communities are experiencing hardship and challenges as a result of COVID-19 and the Charitable Foundation is committed to our mission to help people who are disadvantaged, marginalised, or isolated and supporting social opportunity and development in our regional communities,” she said.

“We’re looking to fund projects that use innovative solutions, but also deliver a local approach to addressing important community issues, including those arising due to the social and economic effects of COVID-19.”

“Our vision is to support projects that help to rewrite the future for people who are in need in our regional communities,”

“I encourage charities to put forward their grass-roots projects that address important local issues."

Hats off to the Charitable Foundation for streamlining their application process! This is the first grant round using their new Expression of Interest process.

While there is no fixed grant amount, grants generally range from $20,000 - $200,000.

Expressions of Interest close 22 October 2020, so apply now!
