What Does the Fund Support?
The William Angliss Charitable Fund provides grants for projects that benefit the community. These can include programme delivery, emergency relief, community health and wellness, and other social services. The fund also acknowledges that many projects may require additional funding to be fully realised. Therefore, it is open to providing partial funding when total project costs exceed the grant amount.
A unique feature of the William Angliss Charitable Fund is its flexibility. While many grants tend to be smaller, larger grants of up to $100,000 are available for organizations the Fund has a longstanding relationship with. This means that if your organization has previously received funding from the fund, you may be eligible for a more substantial grant to help further expand your efforts.
