Each year the Foundation makes available approximately $200,000 to be used in providing grants and donations to the hospitals, aged care facilities and community services provided by the Presbyterian and Uniting Churches. Each church receives an equal amount for distribution.
In following the objectives set out in our Trust Deed, in 2017 the St Andrew’s Foundation made ten individual grants of amounts between $10,000 and $35,000 – totalling $215,000 in all – 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. As usual we sought to support projects that were innovative in their approach to many of the social needs evident today.
