The Balnaves Foundation disperses on average $3 million annually to eligible organisations that create a better Australia through education, medicine and the arts with a focus on young people, the disadvantaged and Indigenous Australia.
If your organisation primarily works in one or more of these areas then please consider submitting an online expression of interest.
There are no closing dates or budget constraints for submissions, however the Foundation prefers to support multi-year projects with a funding range of $200,000 - $400,000 per annum.
The Balnaves Foundation has a new strategic direction for grants in the medical space. From 2023, the Foundation will be focused on supporting projects that deliver significantly improved health outcomes for young Australians through the prevention and early intervention of chronic health conditions.
*Please note that due to our current commitments, the Foundation is not accepting submissions for Arts projects until December 2023. For any projects that fall into this category please submit your EOI after 1 January 2024.*
