Information about Grants
Each year the Foundation makes available approximately $240,000-$300,000. This is used to provide grants and donations to the hospitals, aged care facilities and community services provided by the Presbyterian and Uniting Churches. An emphasis is placed on the following key target areas: Aged care; Homelessness; Indigenous health; Mental health; and Refugee support.
Grants are determined by the Board of Trustees annually, usually in May, and paid prior to 30 June. A progress report is required after 12 months.
In following the objectives set out in our Trust Deed, each year the St Andrew’s Foundation makes grants of amounts between $5,000 and $100,000 to health care and community service organisations and projects associated with the Presbyterian Church of Victoria and the Uniting Church in Australia Synod of Victoria and Tasmania, or to other community service programmes of organisations with similar objectives.
