Eligibility

Unless otherwise stated, all trusts have the following requirements:

• Applicant organisations require ATO Charity Tax Concession (TCC) endorsement.
• Grants may not be used for deficit funding, infrastructure levies, basic travel expenses, general fundraising appeals or capital works.

Use of Grants

A grant must be used exclusively for the purpose outlined in the grant application. If there is a material change in circumstances which affects the nature or completion of a project, grant recipients should contact Philanthropy Services for authorisation.

Reporting

All grant recipients must complete an annual acquittal or progress report, detailing grant expenditure and the progress of projects. A link to these online forms is provided to grant recipients nine months after receipt of a grant.

Non-compliance

Failure to comply with the above requirements may impact a grant recipient's eligibility for future grants.
