The Harcourts Foundation purpose is To provide support that helps, grows, and enriches our communities’. The Foundation aims to provide grants to reputable community-based charitable organisations which need funding for projects and initiatives designed to benefit as many people as possible. An application for a grant must be for a specific event, project, item, or initiative. You may apply as a national or regional organisation, however your application must be for a specific community event, project, item, or initiative that fits the criteria.

Have DGR and TCC status. Project must occur within four months of the funds being approved. Because most of the funding for The Harcourts Foundation is generously provided by our Harcourts offices, we will only consider applications from groups for a specific event, project, item, or initiative where Harcourts has an office; priority is also given to those areas where the Harcourts office is currently a financial contributor to The Harcourts Foundation; in the event that The Foundation receives more applications that meet the criteria than they have funds available, priority will be given to those applicants which demonstrate their grant will have the widest community impact.

Legal requirements: Tax Concession Charity (TCC), Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR1)

Ancillary funds; prescribed private funds; individual needs (focus is on supporting as many people as possible within community); overseas or other travel costs (individuals or groups) unless a direct community benefit can be shown; religious, political, lobby causes/activities; retrospective funding; ancillary funds or to prescribed private funds. Successful applicants may not apply for funding for 18 months.
