Grant-making Priorities
The Newsboys Foundation provides grants to community organisations working with disadvantaged young people aged 11 – 18 years in Victoria. In particular, it supports initiatives that meet the diverse education needs of disadvantaged young people.
The Newsboys Foundation encourages grass roots organisations to apply. A variety of strategies will be considered for support, including programs involving the arts, outdoor education, sport and social enterprises.
Priority is given to initiatives that help disengaged young people re-engage with education, with an emphasis on one or more of the following:
- Successful transition from primary to secondary school
- Completion of secondary school
- Successful transition from secondary education into further education, a trade, training or suitable employment.
The Newsboys Foundation focuses on supporting:
- young people from low socio-economic circumstances
- young people in rural and regional Victoria
- young Indigenous people
- young refugees and asylum seekers
