Eligibility

* indicates a required field.

Our aim for these grants is to reduce barriers for organisations to access funds, allowing them to take the next steps in realising the aspirations they have for the children and families they service.

Grants are always open and are distributed three times per year.

Community Grant Guidelines:

  • Aboriginal controlled or led organisations are only eligible
  • Activities will be focused on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the first five years of life and their families.
  • Request for funding up to $25,000 will be considered
  • Grants are one-off (i.e. funding requests that are short-term in nature rather than those likely to require ongoing funding)
  • Any activity must be community endorsed
  • All organisations must have DGR1 tax status (in the case your organisation does NOT have DGR1 status, please contact us to discuss before applying).

Important to note: to balance the limited availability of funds with equitable access, priority will be given to:

  • organisations which do not currently have a pathway to philanthropic funding or have not recently received a donation from CAGES Foundation
  • organisations which have existing early years/family led work embedded in their service or in their strategy

When we receive your application, we will be in touch to advise when the next distribution will be.

Any questions, please contact us info@cagesfoundation.org
