Democracy
Civic participation
Grants that help people take part in civic life — informed, included, and able to shape the places they live.
A healthy democracy depends on people being able to take part. We support civic participation: the quiet, essential work that helps communities have a voice, stay informed, and shape the places they live.
We look for charitable organisations strengthening civic life in Australia — from community organising and public-interest education to the local institutions that keep people connected to one another.
