Introduction
The
word
‘philanthropy’
is
often
used
but
many
people
find
the
world
of
philanthropy
quite
mysterious.
There
are
many
different
meanings
to
the
word,
usually
depending
on
whom
you
ask.
In
the
context
of
this
guide,
we
will
be
using
Philanthropy
Australia’s
definition,
which
is:
The
planned
and
structured
giving
of
money,
time,
information,
goods
and
services,
voice
and
influence
to
improve
the
wellbeing
of
humanity
and
the
community.
In
practical
terms,
much
of
the
philanthropy
that
happens
in
Australian
involves
gifts
of
money
granted
to
not-‐for-‐profit
entities
by
philanthropic
organisations
and
individuals,
collectively
referred
to
as
‘funders’
or
‘grant-‐makers’
in
this
guide.
This
publication
is
designed
as
a
basic
guide
to
these
funders,
how
they
operate,
and
how
you
can
research
them
and
apply
to
them
for
funding.
We
always
recommend
that
you
seek
income
from
a
variety
of
different
sources
rather
than
rely
on
philanthropic
funding
alone.
You
cannot
depend
on
philanthropic
funding
or
be
certain
that
your
submissions
will
receive
support
-‐
there
are
no
magic
phrases
or
surefire
tactics.
However,
this
guide
contains
information
and
tips
to
improve
your
chances
of
grant
success.

What
this
guide
covers
This
guide
will
provide
you
with
advice
on:
• The
different
types
of
funders
and
what
are
they
looking
for
when
they
review
submissions.
• How
to
research
for
funders.
• What
kind
of
information
you
need
to
provide
to
funders.
• What
to
include
in
your
application
for
funding
–
and
what
to
leave
out.
• What
to
do
when
you
are
successful
or
unsuccessful.
You
will
find
that
much
of
the
advice
in
this
guide
is
common
sense,
however
grant-‐seeking
requires
forward
planning,
research
and
a
strategic
approach
so
you
do
need
to
invest
sufficient
time
and
resources.

Philanthropy
in
Australia
Written
by
Dr.
Wendy
Scaife,
Associate
Professor,
Director,
The
Australian
Centre
for
Philanthropy
and
Nonprofit
Studies,
QUT
Business
School,
Queensland
University
of
Technology
The
story
of
Australian
philanthropy
has
ancient
roots,
is
influenced
often
by
towering
individuals
and
everyday
Aussies,
molded
by
rare
but
significant
policy
moments,
and
continues
to
be
written.
The
practice
of
giving
on
this
continent
is
eons
old.
The
rich
traditions
of
the
indigenous
Aboriginal
and
Torres
Strait
Islanders
honour
reciprocity
and
relationships
with
ancestral
lands,
nature
and
clan,
and
an
assumption
that
wealth
is
distributed.
Eighteenth
century
colonization
as
a
penal
settlement
heralded
a
more
British
style
of
charity
that
established
Australia’s
current
nonprofit
legal
foundations
and
an
enduring
philosophy
of
the
government
as
the
main
provider.
This
history
contrasts
with
the
United
States,
which
eschewed
its
British
heritage
in
favour
of
Abraham
Lincoln’s
‘of
the
people,
by
the
people,
for
the
people’
approach.
Some
believe
this
ethos
that
the
community
rather
than
government
is
responsible
for
meeting
needs
explains
the
perceived
stronger
culture
of
giving
in
the
United
States
compared
with
countries
such
as
Australia
or
the
United
Kingdom.
Certainly
in
19th
century
Australia
a
government
presence
is
evident
through
subsidy
of
some
of
the
considerable
charity
and
social
work
performed
by
faith-‐based
organisations,
such
as
The
New
South
Wales
Society
for
Promoting
Christian
Knowledge
and
Benevolence
(now
the
Benevolent
Society),
Australia’s
oldest
remaining
charity
that
was
formed
in
1813.
England
and
many
of
its
other
colonies
at
this
time
were
seeing
the
rise
of
charities
and
the
merchant/industrialist
class
as
benefactors
of
community
need.
Australia
too,
later
in
this
era
and
early
in
the
20th
century
saw
the
advent
of
substantial
philanthropy
from
some
of
those
who
had
amassed
their
fortunes
in
the
new
colony
from
gold
mining
and
other
enterprises.
Prominent
citizens,
often
prompted
by
their
‘good
wives’
led
the
campaigns
to
build
schools,
hospitals
and
orphanages,
and
establish
ambulance
services
in
this
inhospitable
land
of
dangerous
snakes,
spiders
and
tempestuous
weather
events.
Board
service
was
a
common
elite
contribution
and
sometimes
governments
provided
matched
incentives
to
develop
education
or
health
services
for
the
growing
populace.
The
1880s
saw
the
start
of
the
Trustee
Company
movement
in
Australia
where
the
charitable
endowments
and
estate
wishes
of
affluent
citizens
were
managed,
sometimes
multi-‐generationally.
Some
of
the
early
philanthropists’
actions
of
this
era
were
visionary
and
cast
a
long
shadow.
Examples
include
South
Australia’s
still
active
Wyatt
Benevolent
Institution
formed
in
1881
by
Dr.
William
Wyatt,
thought
to
be
the
nation’s
oldest
philanthropic
foundation.
Notable
too
was
the
advocacy
and
legacy
of
flamboyant,
white-‐suited,
confectionery
tycoon
Sir
MacPherson
Robertson,
who
role-‐modelled
large
scale
giving
for
affluent
citizens,
sometimes
in
‘forward
thinking’
areas
such
as
setting
up
a
girls’
high
school.
Significantly,
the
entrepreneurial
man
behind
iconic
product
names
such
as
Freddo
Frogs,
Columbines
and
Cherry
Ripe
also
sweetened
the
act
of
giving.
Robertson
influenced
the
government
in
Victoria
to
foster
giving
through
tax
incentives
whereby
death
duties
were
deductible
if
people
established
a
charitable
foundation
in
their
will.
5
Such
was
the
uptake
of
this
notion
enshrined
in
the
Victorian
Probate
Act
of
1907
that
the
weight
of
Australia’s
philanthropy
become
largely
housed
in
the
state
of
Victoria
and
directed
internally
there,
from
its
preponderance
of
Australia’s
charitable
foundations.
The
Boer
War
of
1899
–
1902
and
the
Great
War
of
1914
–
1918
engaged
a
different
level
of
community
philanthropy.
Patriotic
Funds
saw
townships
rally
as
givers.
Post-‐WWI,
committees
of
returned
soldiers,
sailors
and
airmen
banded
together
to
raise
funds
for
often
tax
deductible
war
memorial
projects.
By
the
1930s,
some
sense
of
the
sheer
impact
of
individual
philanthropic
foundations
was
evident.
An
oft-‐cited
example
is
the
Sidney
Myer
Fund
established
in
1934
upon
the
death
of
this
community-‐
minded
and
beloved
immigrant
retailer.
The
£150,000
gift
(more
than
$10
million
dollars
in
today’s
terms)
has
translated
to
programs
and
projects
across
Australia
as
the
accumulated
interest,
further
family
contributions
and
fourth
generation
thinking
multiply
the
original
impact.
As
in
giving
across
the
world,
religion
has
played
its
part.
For
instance,
at
the
community
level,
weekly
‘two
bob
in
the
plate’
giving
to
support
Churches
was
the
forerunner
of
today’s
regular
giving
whereby
a
set
amount
is
donated
typically
weekly
from
the
pay-‐packet
or
monthly
via
credit
card
or
bank
account
debit.
In
the
1950s,
the
US-‐based
Wells
Organisation
brought
the
concept
of
Church
fundraising
into
Australia
and
small
and
larger
scale
giving
was
being
generated
for
missionary
services,
and
building
funds.
Post
WWII,
the
growth
of
a
well-‐to-‐do
middle
class
enabled
large
direct
mail
campaigns
that
continue
to
fund
many
causes
today.
Meantime,
the
government
assumes
an
even
stronger
role
in
social
welfare
supporting
the
work
of
charities
and
the
concept
of
endowed
charitable
foundations
continued
to
grow.
Examples
of
the
power
of
endowment
funds
include
the
Ramiciotti
Foundation
set
up
in
1970
with
$6.7M,
which
has
since
given
away
$56M
and
continues
to
be
a
major
contributor
to
biomedical
science.
The
1970s
ushered
in
the
formation
of
Philanthropy
Australia’s
precursor,
the
Australian
Association
of
Philanthropy,
the
continued
growth
of
corporate
foundations
such
as
the
Utah
Foundation
and
also
Australia’s
first
community
foundation,
the
Victorian
Community
Foundation
(what
is
now
known
as
the
Australian
Communities
Foundation
was
born
from
the
Victorian
Community
Foundation)
formed
under
the
auspices
of
a
bank
with
two
other
states
following
soon
after.
The
notion
of
sub-‐funds,
place-‐based
giving
and
community
foundations
accelerated
in
the
late
90s
and
early
in
the
new
Millennium
and
corporate
foundations
also
developed
alongside
the
corporate
social
responsibility
trend.
Around
this
time
too,
the
Howard
Government
established
the
original
Prime
Minister’s
Business
and
Community
Partnership
and
announced
a
policy
platform
to
increase
philanthropy.
Workplace,
cultural
and
environmental
giving
incentives
emerged
along
with
the
Prescribed
Private
Funds
structure
(now
Public
Ancillary
Funds)
in
2001.
More
recently,
the
past
decade
has
seen
the
advent
of
various
forms
of
collective
giving,
most
prominent
among
these
giving
circles
where
members
join
to
give
a
predetermined
amount
and
select
what
cause
their
pooled
funds
will
benefit.
Calls
for
more
giving
structures
that
broaden
the
notion
of
who
is
a
philanthropist
are
likely
to
drive
the
next
change
in
this
ongoing
story
of
generosity,
which
is
so
underscored
by
the
timeless
Australian
ethos
of
mateship
and
helping
a
stranger.

Legal/
taxation
requirements
•
Some
foundations
can
only
fund
organisations
that
the
ATO
has
endorsed
as
a
Deductible
Gift
Recipient
(DGR).
•
Some
foundations
can
only
fund
organisations
that
are
registered
with
the
ACNC
and
endorsed
for
tax
concessions
by
the
ATO.
•
Some
foundations
can
only
fund
organisations
that
are
both
of
the
above.
•
Some
foundations
can
fund
almost
any
not-‐for-‐profit
entity
provided
that
the
funding
is
spent
on
activities
which
are
legally
charitable.
Some
foundations
can
only
fund
organisations
that
have
a
certain
kind
of
DGR
endorsement.
There
are
two
main
kinds
of
DGRs:
Item
1
DGRs,
known
informally
as
‘doing’
DGRs.
These
are
the
organisations
which
carry
out
the
hands-‐on
work
–
health
promotion,
environmental,
arts
and
welfare
organisations
etc.
Item
2
DGRs,
known
informally
as
‘giving’
DGRs
–
which
have
no
purpose
other
than
to
make
or
collect
money
in
order
to
give
it
away.
The
rule
is
that
one
‘giving’
DGR
cannot
give
to
another
‘giving’
DGR.
Most
organisations
that
are
seeking
grants
from
foundations
are
Item
1
DGRs,
‘doing’
charities,
but
there
are
some
entities
which
have
been
set
up
as
fundraising
foundations
–
often
attached
to
a
hospital
or
cultural
entity
–
which
are
‘giving’
DGRs.
There
are
many
funds,
including
Private
Ancillary
Funds
(see
Section
4),
which
cannot
fund
the
‘giving’
type
of
DGR.

What
are
the
different
types
of
philanthropic
funders?
This
guide
focuses
on
how
to
seek
grants
from
philanthropic
funders.
These
are
funders
who
have
an
asset
base
known
as
a
corpus
and
use
the
income
generated
to
provide
grants
or
make
impact
investments.
Although
this
is
not
a
guide
to
seeking
Government
funding,
many
of
the
same
principles
apply.
Funders
derive
income
from
their
investments,
socially
responsible
investments
and
potentially
via
impact
investments.
Generally,
they
allocate
the
income
generated
as
grants,
but
more
recently,
some
funders
are
investing
directly
in
social
enterprises.
In
Australia
there
are
a
variety
of
different
types
of
funders
and
each
type
will
have
an
impact
on:
• How
easy
it
is
for
you
to
find
and
to
communicate
with
them.
• The
types
of
project
they
will
and
will
not
fund.
• The
amount
of
funding
they
will
have
available.
• When
you
can
apply
for
funding.
• What
their
requirements
and
expectations
of
you,
the
grant
recipient,
will
be.
The
following
descriptions
are
general
in
nature
and
designed
to
provide
you
with
a
guide
to
the
different
kinds
of
philanthropic
funders,
what
they
support,
how
they
operate
and
how
they
are
managed.
Private
foundations
Typically,
a
‘private
foundation’
is
one
that
has
been
established
by
an
individual
or
family
as
part
of
their
Will/estate/bequest
and
is
managed
by
independent
Trustees
under
the
terms
of
the
Trust
Deed.
Private
foundations
vary
greatly,
not
only
in
size
depending
on
the
amount
of
the
original
bequest,
but
also
in
their
purpose
as
determined
by
the
wishes
of
the
original
benefactor.
Some
private
foundations
may
try
to
retain
a
‘family
linkage’
to
the
original
benefactor;
however,
the
Trustees
manage
the
private
foundation
independently,
except
where
living
family
members
are
Trustees.
‘Non-‐discretionary’
private
foundations
allocate
their
funds
to
individual
charities
where
the
benefactor
has
left
money
in
their
Will
to
benefit
a
specific
organisation.
An
example
would
be:
“I
want
the
funds
to
go
to
the
Lost
Dogs’
Home
and
the
Royal
Children’s
Hospital”.
When
this
occurs,
funds
will
be
allocated
in
perpetuity
to
those
named
organisations
and,
as
such,
these
private
foundations
are
not
available
as
sources
of
funding
for
other
charitable
organisations.
Private
foundations
known
as
‘discretionary’
are
those
where
funds
are
left
to
benefit
certain
purposes
such
as
the
arts,
education,
a
specific
geographic
area,
people
with
disabilities
or
‘general
charitable
purposes’,
rather
than
specific
organisations.
The
purpose
of
a
private
foundation
reflects
not
only
the
wishes
of
the
original
benefactor
but
also
the
prevailing
social
and
economic
needs
at
the
time
of
establishment.
This
is
why
contemporary
societal
issues
such
as,
for
example,
refugees
and
asylum
seekers,
may
not
be
reflected
in
the
granting
guidelines
of
many
private
foundations,
especially
those
that
were
created
in
the
early
20th
Century.
8
If
the
funding
purpose
for
which
the
foundation
was
originally
set
up
no
longer
exists
–
for
example,
a
trust
established
in
the
1920s
to
fund
orphans
with
polio,
then
the
Trust
Deed
can
be
amended.
This
is
a
lengthy
legal
process
that
has
to
be
initiated
by
the
foundation
Trustees,
and
any
changes
are
not
undertaken
lightly.
In
fact,
as
long
as
the
original
purpose
of
the
foundation
can
still
be
fulfilled,
there
are
unlikely
to
be
any
changes.
Only
in
cases
where
the
original
purpose
is
obsolete
and
cannot
be
fulfilled,
would
the
Trustees
make
an
application
to
have
the
deed
amended.
For
instance,
a
fund
that
was
established
solely
to
support
environmental
groups
to
purchase
land
for
conservation
purposes
must
fund
only
that
purpose
until
there
are
no
longer
any
eligible
groups
carrying
out
that
particular
work.
The
foundation’s
Trustees
cannot
decide
that
they
would
prefer
to
give
the
funds
to,
say,
arts
or
welfare
organisations
instead.
Other
foundations
are
prohibited
by
their
governing
documents
from
funding
certain
types
of
entities
or
projects
–
for
example,
some
foundations
are
unable
to
fund
capital
works
as
their
Trust
Deed
specifically
prevents
them
from
doing
so.
This
is
why
it
is
so
important
to
do
your
research
first
and
to
read
a
funder’s
guidelines.
Because
no
matter
how
strong
your
application
for
capital
funding,
or
however
much
the
Trustees
may
endorse
it
personally,
they
are
legally
unable
to
provide
funding
if
the
Trust
Deed
excludes
funding
for
capital
works.
Private
foundations
are
governed
by
the
requirements
of
the
Will/Trust
Deed
–
rather
than
specific
legislation
and
as
such
may
be
able
to
support
general
charitable
purposes
(i.e.
they
are
not
limited
to
charitable
organisations
and/or
those
with
DGR
1
status).
The
management
of
private
foundations
consists
of
two
main
types:
1. Private
foundations,
which
are
generally
larger,
may
operate
independently
with
Trustees
self-‐managing
their
operations,
governance,
investments
and
grant-‐making.
They
may
also
employ
staff
to
assist
the
Trustees
in
performing
their
duties
and
responsibilities.
2. Smaller
private
foundations,
or
those
where
the
benefactor
appoints
an
organisation
to
be
one
of
the
Trustees,
may
be
managed
by
a
trustee
company.
Trustee
companies
are
profit-‐making
entities
that
are
legally
empowered
to
act
as
professional
Trustees
for
all
kinds
of
trusts,
including
charitable
trusts.
Trustee
companies
have
been
administering
philanthropic
funders
for
over
a
century
and
are
often
chosen
by
donors
who
do
not
have
heirs
or
other
people
they
can
appoint
to
look
after
their
private
foundation.
A
trustee
company
will
sometimes
manage
the
private
foundation
completely
–
looking
after
both
the
investment
portfolio
and
the
grant-‐making.
In
other
cases,
they
will
only
manage
the
investments.
A
trustee
company
may
act
as
the
sole
Trustee
for
the
foundation,
or
it
could
be
one
of
several
Trustees.
9
Family
foundations
Family
foundations
consist
of
either
living
donors
or
living
people
with
a
close
connection
to
the
founder
who
may
themselves
be
donors
to
the
foundation
or
have
a
family
connection
to
the
person
who
established
the
family
foundation.
They
normally
give
funds
via
a
Public
Ancillary
Fund
(sub-‐fund)
or
a
Private
Ancillary
Fund.
Sub-‐funds
generally
allow
people
who
may
not
have
enough
money
to
establish
a
Private
Ancillary
Fund,
so
that
they
can
be
involved
in
philanthropy.
Sub-‐funds
are
management
accounts
(via
a
trust
company,
community
foundation
or
any
other
entity
which
establishes
a
Public
Ancillary
Fund
Endowment
structure)
bearing
their
own
name
(e.g.
The
Jane
Smith
Family
Fund)
and
established
for
specific
charitable
purposes.
With
family
foundations,
funding
decisions
are
often
influenced
by
personal
preferences
or
interests,
and
the
Trustees
may
include
the
original
founder,
partner,
sons,
daughters
and/or
grandchildren.
They
have
greater
flexibility
to
change
what
is
funded
over
time,
especially
when
new
generations
take
over
as
Trustees.
Many
Family
Foundations
are
very
private
and
do
not
accept
unsolicited
applications
for
funding.
This
is
usually
because
they
are
very
specific
about
their
funding
priorities,
are
very
small
and
have
no
paid
staff
with
family
members
acting
as
Trustees
over
and
above
their
other
commitments.
These
foundations
tend
to
research
and
self-‐select
which
charities
they
want
to
fund,
or
they
may
co-‐fund
in
collaboration
with
other
similar
funders.
Family
foundations
are
generally
structured
as
either
a
Private
Ancillary
Fund
or
a
Public
Ancillary
Fund
and
can
only
support
charitable
organisations
for
charitable
purposes
with
DGR
Item
1
status.
Community
foundations
Community
foundations
are
established
to
benefit
a
specific
geographic
area.
Like
most
philanthropic
funders,
they
have
a
corpus,
however
they
differ
from
private
and
family
foundations
because
the
corpus
is
built
up
from
a
variety
of
sources
including
individuals,
local
businesses
and
government
sources.
Many
community
foundations
in
Australia
also
receive
funding
from
bequests.
They
make
grants
to
fund
local
activities
and
not-‐for-‐profit
groups
and
may
also
fund
training
and
organisational
capacity
building.
Community
foundations
are
governed
by
a
board
of
people
from
within
a
specific
geographic
region,
who
are
familiar
with
the
needs,
demographic
profile
and
community
organisations
in
that
region.
Community
foundations
are
generally
structured
as
a
Public
Ancillary
Fund
and
can
only
support
charitable
organisations
for
charitable
purposes
with
Deductible
Gift
Recipient
1
status.
10
Corporate
foundations
Companies
which
are
active
in
the
philanthropic
space
and/or
provide
community
donations
and/or
sponsorships
and/or
corporate
social
responsibility
may
establish
their
own
corporate
foundation.
These
corporate
foundations
may
be
established
as
a
separate
legal
entity
or
as
a
separate
division
within
their
business.
The
legal
structure
is
determined
by
where
the
funds
come
from
and
what
they
are
funding.
As
with
private
and
family
foundations,
corporate
foundations
set
up
as
a
separate
legal
entities
are
charitable
in
nature
and
therefore
have
to
comply
with
the
same
rules
as
regular
foundations.
For
example,
they
can
only
fund
charitable
organisations
for
charitable
purposes
with
DGR
1
status.
Corporate
foundations
favour
organisations
or
projects
that
align
with
their
corporate
mission
and
help
to
promote
and
build
the
profile
of
the
company.
If
a
corporate
foundation
is
structured
as
a
division
within
the
business
and
allocates
funds
directly
from
operating
profit,
it
can
support
a
wide
variety
of
individuals
and
organisations,
both
charitable
and
non-‐charitable.
Government-‐initiated
foundations
Some
foundations
were
set
up
by
Government
with
initial
seed
funding,
but
have
received
no
further
government
funding
since
their
establishment.
These
are
generally
independent
foundations
which
have
gone
on
to
raise
further
funding
and
become
self-‐sustaining.
Examples
of
these
kinds
of
organisations
include
the
Foundation
for
Young
Australians
and
the
Victorian
Women’s
Trust.
There
are
other
government-‐initiated
foundations
which
operate
with
varying
degrees
of
government
oversight;
this
is
usually
because
they
are
still
in
receipt
of
government-‐
directed
support.
Government-‐initiated
foundations
have
many
advantages
for
grant-‐seekers
as
they
are
often
relatively
large,
publicly
advertise
their
granting
programs
and
usually
have
paid
staff
available
to
discuss
your
application.
However,
some
of
the
drawbacks
associated
with
government
foundations
include
the
high
level
of
bureaucracy
and
detailed,
and
often
complex,
reporting
requirements.
There
are
also
other
government
funding
programs
which
may
use
the
term
‘Foundation’
in
their
titles.
DGR
separately
listed
foundations
On
some
occasions,
charitable
funders
may
obtain
separate
DGR
status
–
such
as
The
Foundation
for
Rural
and
Regional
Renewal
(FRRR)
–
which
is
a
unique
organisation
created
through
collaboration
between
philanthropy
and
Government.
