The Foundation supports initiatives that enhance their vision and mission.

Mission:
– The mission is to work with communities, systems and institutions to support those who come to make Australia home. Collective strengths are celebrated and those barriers that stand in the way of allowing everyone to contribute and participate fully in Australian life are addressed.

Vision:
– To support Australia to continue to build upon its strong foundation of diversity.

The Foundation welcomes grant proposals that align with their core purpose to work with systems and institutions to support people who migrate to Australia and make it their home.

The priority is to provide direct-to-community support by funding capacity building initiatives and community created innovations or models.

They also welcome proposals that support migrants and multicultural communities to participate in and contribute to life in regional/rural areas across Australia.
