Grants

Our grants strategy

The donations we receive from members of the community are used for grant making across our grant streams outlined below.

To ensure Foundation SA is representative of the needs of the community we serve we engage and consult with donors, community members and subject matter experts to determine the role we play in creating positive impact. Wherever possible, we also seek feedback and guidance from those at the heart of the issues we may be exploring.

Our grants strategy has been developed after an extensive donor and community consultation process and will continue to evolve as we grow and learn.

The organisations we fund receive more than just funding support. Depending on their needs, the Foundation offers referrals to other funding bodies, promotion to our community, and connection to other resources.

Foundation SA grants will be promoted via social media and here on our grants page.

We pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians of the Adelaide region on which our office stands, the Kaurna people. We acknowledge all First Nations peoples and their deep connection to the land. The dispossession and treatment that has occurred, still impacts on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people today. We walk hand-in-hand with all First Nations peoples on the path to reconciliation.
