Our Purpose

To provide support that helps, grows, and enriches our communities.

Our Vision

What we want to achieve:

Being positive caring members of our communities is an important part of who we are. The Harcourts Foundation will enable us to better support our team in the way that they wish to support their communities.

We have a clear focus on providing grants in areas where Harcourts offices operate to reputable community-based organisations which need funding for projects and initiatives designed to benefit as many people as possible.

Before You Begin

Please see below for the overview of our general guidelines before filling out the application form.

(Note that these details will change from time to time, so we suggest you revisit this page if reapplying)

Our Current Focus

As most of the funding for the Harcourts Foundation is generously provided by 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. (Note: many of our offices fund and support a huge range of community initiatives through their own offices as well as through the Harcourts Foundation).
In the event that we receive more applications that meet the criteria than we have funds available, we will prioritise those applicants who demonstrate that their grant will have the widest community impact.

(As we develop over time, our focus may change to reflect the focus and interests of those contributing to and guiding the Harcourts Foundation).

Guidelines

Grant applications must be for a specific event, project, item or initiative.
Requests for the event, project, item or initiative must be scheduled to occur within four months of the upcoming Grant Decision meeting date.
Grants will not be given for items already purchased or events/initiatives/projects already held.
If the grant is not used for the purpose for which it was applied, we will request that you return it so we can provide to another group elsewhere.
If you are a branch of an organisation where another branch has been successful in achieving a grant from us in the past, this does not mean you automatically qualify for a grant. Each application will be considered independently based on funds available and circumstances at the time.
If you are successful. please do not reapply within the next 18 months, as we would like to assist other organisations.
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 above.

_{Please do not submit funding requests for:}

Individual needs - such as salaries and wages. Our focus is on supporting as many people as possible within our communities
Overseas or other travel costs.
Religious, political, lobby causes/activities

As a new Foundation we look forward to growing the contributions we make to our communities. We look forward to funding as many applicants as possible, however please understand if we are unable to support your particular request.
