Grant Levels
Gandel Foundation has three levels of grant giving that are aimed at providing support for both Jewish and Australian causes and organisations.
Within those three levels, there are a number of specific Areas of Interest towards which grants are allocated, as described below.
Community Grants
Community grants enable Gandel Foundation to support a range of partners across our five issue areas. Community Grants are typically allocated up to a maximum amount of $40,000 and envisaged as one-off grants aimed at providing support for a defined program or smaller community organisations. Community Grants are implemented through proactive granting and targeted open grants rounds. We will consider different types of grants to support both ongoing, immediate, as well as emerging needs in society.
Major Grants
Major grants reflect Gandel Foundation’s wish to provide substantial and meaningful support to our not-for-profit partners to achieve long-term positive impact within our areas of interest. These grants can be allocated as a single, one-off contribution or through multi-year support. Major Grants are made proactively and our decisions are evidence-based to ensure we support initiatives that deliver defined outcomes and lasting benefits.
Flagship Grants
Flagship grants are leadership-type grants that support ambitious efforts to deliver transformative impact. Gandel Foundation makes a limited number of Flagship Grants through proactively identifying the projects and partners who can help make lasting change in priority areas. Flagship Grants are typically funded over extended periods.
