Thank you for your interest in Foster's Community Grants. Applications for Foster's Community Grants 2008 are now closed. We have received many applications from across Australia and North America and would like to thank you for taking the time to apply for a Foster's Community Grant.
Foster's Community Grants is an important initiative within the Foster's in the Community Program, complementing the grass roots nature of our employee driven community contributions and Foster's community sponsorships.
Foster's Community Grants is guided by a Grants Advisory Committee chaired by Peter Cosgrove AC MC, and involving a number of eminent people. Grants are assessed principally on the quality of the community benefit they support. Only incorporated not-for-profit organisations and charities are eligible for funding.
Given the volume of applications received in 2008, we would ask for your patience between now and September in communicating with your organisation. To give you an insight into the Grants assessment and evaluation process, a timeline has been included below that you can refer to.
