Priority Funding Areas
- Children and Youth
- Medical
- Community Development and Support
Applications are invited from eligible organisations who meet the following criteria:
-
Have a broad community reach and profile;
-
Demonstrate sound management and service excellence in meeting clients’ needs;
-
Have a high degree of community and/or volunteer involvement;
-
Connect their
operations with the community they seek to assist; and

The Foundation is particularly interested in providing seed funding for new projects. This is especially the case where the project’s objectives will potentially deliver sustainable, medium to long-term benefits for the broader community. Applications for projects which involve partnerships with other non-for-profit organisations working collaboratively to address a community need are encouraged.
Funding Exclusions
In general, the Foundation will not fund the following:
-
A project designed to benefit a single person or individual family;
-
Programs undertaken outside of Victoria;
-
Programs which duplicate existing Government programs;
-
Capital works on land not owned by the applicant organisation;
-
Office
equipment, including computers hardware and software;
-
Vehicles,
including buses, trucks, vans, etc;
-
Operating expenses (including salaries, rent of premises, outgoings, etc.);
-
Funding of an operating deficit;
-
Conferences or seminars;
-
Travel or transport costs;
-
General fund raising campaigns or special events;
-
Annual appeals;
-
Programs/projects offered for the exclusive benefit of a religious or political group;
-
Conservation; and
-
As a general contribution to the corpus of another grant making organisation.
Declined Requests
The value of requests the Foundation receives always exceeds its available funds. Therefore, the Foundation is unable to support many very worthwhile projects. Sometimes but not always, the Foundation asks that an application be resubmitted for consideration at the next round of grant decisions, perhaps with additional material in support of the application.
Organisations which receive a grant from the Foundation must wait a period of 12 months before applying for another grant.
How to apply for a Grant
The Foundation requires all applicants to contact the
Foundation’s staff to discuss their project/program prior to submitting their
application. You may do this through an email to
info@brockhoff.info or by telephone
to (03) 9670 0150. Emails should include a brief outline of the project and
budget estimations.
All grant applications must include the Grant Application Form (links below) together with a response to each question listed.
Information required
The Foundation expects applicants to articulate their long term goals and to demonstrate a strategic plan and operational objectives to best address their clients' needs. Well managed and efficient operations are highly regarded.
This is the process applicants are encouraged to follow:
1.
Save a copy of the Word Format application
relevant to their category;
2.
Complete the saved application including adding
any links that are of relevance to the application; and
3.
Attaching the completed application to an email
addressed to info@brockhoff.info and
sending it to us.
The Foundation will acknowledge all applications via email to the contact person as nominated on the Grant Application Form, usually within ten days of receipt.
Please use the checklist provided to ensure all of the required information has been supplied. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Requirements for Grant Recipients
All recipients of past grants are required to acquit the
grant the earlier of the full expenditure of the granted sum or, within 12
months of receipt of the grant.
As a guide, a Grant Acquittal Report template can be
accessed from this website (see below). Please note an important
requirement of the Acquittal Report is that it be signed by the Recipient
Organisation's CEO or CFO attesting to the full expenditure of the granted sum.
The Foundation's Directors will not accept
applications for additional grant funds from Organisations that have not fully
acquitted all past grants received.
