GRANT RECIPIENTS IN 2019/2020

AT A GLANCE:

  • A total of 180 grants approved and/or paid in the 2019/20 Financial Year;
  • In 2019/20 Gandel Foundation Trustees responded to two major emergencies, the Australian bushfires and COVID-19, by allocating funding to key community response organisations responding to a broad range of needs;
  • Major & Flagship grants continue to grow in numbers, and more than half of those are multi-year commitments.

 

The Trustees of Gandel Foundation maintained the three levels of giving – Community Grants, Major Grants and Flagship Grants, and the same Areas of Interest as in the previous year.

 

Below is a list of all grant recipients in 2019/20. The listing is based according to the grant level and Area of Interest, in alphabetical order, with a short program description.
