The aim of the Jack Brockhoff Children & Youth Grants Program is to support projects and programs that will have a positive impact on improving outcomes for children and young people, wherever they may live in Victoria, who are at risk or vulnerable. As the result of a recent strategic review of the Foundation’s grants program please note that the areas of focus in this program have changed.
The Foundation is now seeking applications in two key areas of interest:
1. Addressing Youth Homelessness – With a focus on young people (8-25 yrs) at risk of homelessness
2. Pathways to Education, Training and Employment – With a focus on young people (8 -18 yrs) who are identified as being at risk to remain or re-engage with learning or education.
Preference is given to applications that focus on:
- Prevention and early intervention
- Programs or projects that have the potential or capacity to continue once the funding of the Foundation has come to an end
- Programs that can display support from the community and that have an involvement of volunteers.
Please note that if you are intending to apply for a Children & Youth grant you must email a brief outline (no more than two paragraphs) of your proposal to foundation@jackbrockhoff.org.au.
Please do not submit an application until you have received confirmation to proceed from the Executive Officer, Anita Hopkins.
