What we do not fund

In general, the Trust will not make grants directly to individuals, overseas organisations, special interest groups of schools or tertiary institutions. Additionally, we will not offer grants for fund-raising activities.

Organisations that do not have a registered non-profit-making or charitable status, or that promote a political agenda (such as advancing a particular political view or party, advocating for changes in laws, or seeking reversal of governing policies or decisions) will not be considered.

Process

We work proactively with a wide range of partners to initiate and fund projects that fall within our Priority Areas. Unsolicited proposals that fit within our lines of work may also be considered. If you are interested in working with us for the betterment of society, the following information, including but not limited to, will be required.

Project proposal
Budget breakdown
The latest annual report
The latest audited accounts of the organisation
The latest list of Board Members of the organisation

If your organisation has not applied to the Trust for a grant before, you will also need to provide a Memorandum and Articles of Association, and a registration certificate showing the non-profit-making or charitable status of the organisation.
