Our Grants
Our grants support smaller, local charities that provide children and young people with opportunities to thrive through connection and participation in education and community life.
We have two focus areas.
These are Inclusive Education and Connection and Particiption.
Thrive Community Grants
Thrive Community Grants aim to improve the social and emotional wellbeing of children and young people by supporting engagement in community life.
Each year, Thrive Community Grants provide smaller, local charities with one-off grants of up to $50,000 to assist children and young people to connect with friends, family and the community, participate in activities that build resilience, develop new skills, enrich lives, and create a sense of belonging.
Our support is focussed on children and young people in our Priority Groups.
Inspire Grant
BankSA Foundation’s Inspire Grant was created to uplift the education outcomes of children and young people facing the greatest barriers to reaching their potential.
It supports innovative approaches to education access, participation, learning and transition to further study or employment with grants of up to $150,000 over three years.
BankSA Foundation Inspire Grants are provided to one eligible charity once each year. In 2025, the focus will be education achievement, and applications will be by invitation only.
Our support is focussed on children and young people in our Priority Groups.
