Westpac Foundation

About the Foundation

Catalyst for the improvement of community wellbeing in Australia

We are a charitable trust investing in not-for-profits run by community leaders who have the vision, courage and determination to give disadvantaged individuals in our community opportunity.

Through our grants, we seek to develop communities where the long-term unemployed, Indigenous Australians, refugees, the homeless, and individuals with a disability, feel engaged and included. 

Funding opportunities  

Our grant-making approach provides opportunity, right across the community. We fund local or national initiatives and new ideas or programs with a track record.  Our approach falls under two categories – funding community and funding social enterprise and innovation.

The Foundation operates independently of the Westpac Group, with its work and decisions on grants entirely the responsibility of the Westpac Foundation board.

The Foundation does not have capacity to fund sponsorship requests, general donations or ongoing funds for existing programs.
