GRANT RECIPIENTS IN 2018/2019
AT A GLANCE:
- Gandel Foundation Trustees approved a total of 182 grant distributions in the 2018/19 Financial Year;
 - Of all grants provided, around 47% have been funded in collaboration with different partners, including not-for-profit organisations, individual donors, all levels of government, corporate and philanthropic entities. These are marked with an asterix;
 - There were a total of 79 Major & Flagship grants;
 - Around 52% of all Major & Flagship grants are multi-year grant commitments.
 
While the Trustees maintained the three levels of giving – Community Grants, Major Grants and Flagship Grants, the growth in distributions – by number and dollar amount – was most significant for those larger, Major and Flagship, grants, which is a deliberate strategy of the Board.
Below is a list of all grant recipients in 2018/19, listed according to the grant level and the Area of Interest, in alphabetical order.
