Frequently asked questions at EOFY
See above for three ways you can donate to your Fund. Others can search for your Fund via our Donations Portal (unless you have requested for your Fund to be hidden).
If your Fund is public, you can also accept donations via our Funds & Foundations page.
When you log in to your Fund Portal, you will see Current Balance and Available Cash on the first page.
Note: ‘Available Cash’ takes into account any pending grants (i.e. not yet approved) and any committed payments for multi-year grants, as well as your Fund’s required minimum balance.
You can view a list of your receipts from the Receipts tab on the Fund Portal. To view and download a receipt, click the blue number in the ID column. This will open the receipt in your browser where you can either print or save to PDF. If you have any issues accessing your receipts, get in touch here.
You can view a list of your monthly statements from the Statements tab on the Fund Portal. To view and download a statement, click the blue View button on the right-hand side. Annual fund statements for 2023/24 will be available for download as soon as our investment managers have finalised distributions, likely by early October. We will send you an email notification when they are available.
To ensure we have the best chance of paying your grants this financial year, we ask that you submit your final FY24 grants by no later than 5pm AEST on Friday 14 June. Please note that grants can only be distributed after the grantee organisation completes and returns the required paperwork.
