Frequently Asked Questions
Eligibility and funding guidelines
The grants are for use in the states of Victoria and Queensland only for organisations registered in Victoria and Queensland.
We fund small, medium and large organisations, however the majority of grants made are to smaller organisations.
This refers to your organisation’s recognition by the Taxation Department, as a charitable organisation, for example, DGR.
No. We do not make grants for one off travel purposes, however if travel is required as part of programme delivery within Victoria or Queensland, the funds may be used for this purpose.
The grant we pay your organisation will not include GST as it is a gift, not a financial supply.
Completing an application
There is no set grant range, however the majority of grants made are between $2,000-$5,000 for organisations we have not supported before. For a much smaller number of organisations we know well, we may make grants in the region of $100,000.
Only one application per organisation can be accepted however if you work in both Victoria and Queensland, you may submit one application for work in each state.

Yes – we recognise that our funding may be one part of what is needed to deliver a project.
The whole organisation, the project cost can be noted under the Project field.
Funding process
The Trustees make decisions based on the funds available each year for distribution. This means that it is not always possible to grant the requested amount in full.
Trustees agree which grants can be made in November each year, with funds distributed to organisations in early December.
No ongoing agreements are entered into nor is any recurrent funding approved by the Trustees.
Information for grantees
We like to work in a trust-based way with organisations we support. We also aim to make the application and funding process as straight forward as possible, so that organisations can spend their time working in their communities.
We don’t require a detailed financial acquittal of expenditure, but we do need an official receipt to show that the funds have been received.
WACF does not require formal impact reporting linked to the grant.
We understand that projects can change. Please contact us to discuss if this is the case for work we have funded.
We are always interested to hear about the work you are doing or events being held and we will try to attend where possible. You can contact us on info@wacf.net.au or call 0428 910 770
We do not require formal acknowledgement of the funds we donate. If there are particular ways you would like to acknowledge WACF, please contact us to discuss.
