The St George Foundation provides community grants of up to $50,000 to small Australian children’s charities that attract little assistance from government and that are not able to generate significant income of their own. These grants support local projects that help brighten the lives of children experiencing disadvantage.

To be eligible for funding your organisation will:

• Focus your efforts on children in Australia under the age of 24 years.
• Be located in NSW, ACT, QLD or WA.
• Have an annual gross revenue of less than $5M.
• Receive less than 60% of your income from state, federal or local government funding (unless you have an income less than $1M per annum, in which case your government funding can exceed 60%).
• Provide recent, audited financial statements, signed by the auditor.
• Be endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (but not another ancillary fund). Deductible Gift Recipients must be listed with the Australian Taxation Office under Item 1 of the Table in Section 30–15 of the Income Tax Assessment Act, 1997.
