Our Areas of Focus

  • Art and Culture

    Preserving culture through collaboration with organisations such as the Melbourne DaiLoong Association and Gambina is essential for fostering a rich and diverse community. These partnerships allow for the sharing of cultural knowledge, traditions, and practices, ensuring that they are not only maintained but also celebrated.

  • Education

    Providing equal opportunity to education through scholarships alongside leading institutions, such as RMIT and Monash University, plays a crucial role in fostering an inclusive learning environment. These scholarships not only alleviate financial burdens for students but also empower diverse talent to access quality education that might otherwise be unattainable.

  • Health and Wellbeing

    Supporting and providing funding for incredible research initiatives, groundbreaking projects, and essential equipment to various health institutions, which include renowned facilities such as Epworth, the Alfred, and St. Vincent’s, is crucial for advancing healthcare and improving patient outcomes across the community.

  • Social and Community

    Leaving a positive impact on both local and global scales is central to our mission. Through our ongoing support to organizations such as Entrust and St. Paul’s, we aim to address social challenges and uplift communities. By investing in educational initiatives, community outreach programs, and essential services, we empower individuals and strengthen societal structures.

We proactively maintain a number of strategic partnerships and make a range of small, medium and large gifts aligned with our purpose.

The Foundation supports projects and organisations in Australia and is active across a number of states. We do not operate grant rounds, accept unsolicited proposals, nor do we support international organisations.
