PCHF Application Process

  1. Applications will be processed by the Foundation in line with the Grant Application Process detailed in the PCHF Grant Application Process document. 
  2. You will be notified of the outcome of your application by the PCHF Grants Team following the Grant Sub-Committee meeting at which your application was considered. For all grants requesting funding over $20,000, full board approval is required. You will be notified if your application is progressing for full board approval, and again if it is successful after full board review. 
  3. If your application is successful, please be aware that your project will not be able to commence until a matching donor has been secured by PCHF.

In some circumstances this can take several months, so please consider this when seeking funding for time sensitive projects. In the event your project requires commencement by a specific date, the Foundation strongly advises to discuss your project with a member of the Foundation’s grants team prior to submission via grants@pchf.org.au.
