Promote Your Work
Add your organisation to the Funding Platform
As part of our role as a broker of change, we promote the work of not-for-profits on our Funding Platform, enabling donors to find organisations aligned with their funding interests.
You can add your organisation to the Platform provided you fulfil the criteria detailed in the ‘What You Need’ section below. Please read this information before submitting a proposal or contacting the team.
What You Need
The applying organisation must be (1) a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission and (2) eligible to receive tax-deductible donations (i.e., has DGR1 status or an auspice partner). Check your organisation’s eligibility here: acnc.gov.au/charity

- Your organisation must be based in Australia, or have an Australian auspice partner. Learn more about auspice arrangments at http://nfplaw.org.au/auspicing.
- Organisations can submit a maximum of one Organisation Profile and one Project per year.
- The average grant awarded is between $2,000 and $15,000. Please keep this in mind if submitting a funding proposal for a Project.
- You can save and come back to your proposal at any time.
What Happens Next
Our team aims to review submissions within four weeks of receipt, and we will notify you when yours has been reviewed. Approved submissions are posted to our Funding Platform.

- Submitting an Organisation Profile or Project means you are consenting to us publishing it publicly on our Funding Platform.
- Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation to the email address provided in the contact information section of the form.
- You will receive an email to this same email address notifying you of the outcome once your submission has been reviewed.
- Our team aims to review submissions within four weeks of receipt. This may take slightly longer during busy periods.
- The team reserves the right to reject any submission that does not align with the values of Australian Communities Foundation or the eligibility criteria outlined in the ‘What You Need’ section of this page.
- We will contact you if a donor is interested in supporting your work. If we do not contact you, this means your Profile/Project has not yet received donor interest.
- Projects will remain live on the Funding Platform for three months. Organisation Profiles do not have an expiry date and will be reviewed by our team annually, who may contact you for updated information. You are welcome to request updates to your Organisation profile or Project(s) at any time via email: grants@communityfoundation.org.au
