What We Look For
The Tattersall’s George Adams Foundation provides financial support in accordance with its Trust Deed and policies there under, and is permitted only to make grants to organisations that have been endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as Deductible Gift Recipients (DGR) and have gained exemption from Income Tax. In order for the Foundation to be able to make any assessment, we request that you include as part of your request for funding the ATO's letter of endorsement as DGR and Income Tax Exempt status.
In general, the Foundation is unable to support:
- Any organisation that is an Ancillary fund
- Any organisation that is endorsed as DGR under Item 2 of Section 30-15 of the Income Tax Assessment Act
- Organisations that operate primarily in the areas of education and recreation for children (eg. boy scouts, primary/secondary schools). Organisations that are associated with children who are disabled, disadvantaged, sick etc are not excluded by this provision.
- Individuals
- Applications that offer commercial or material benefit in return for funding (ie, sponsorships, commercial product endorsements etc).
- For-profit making activities
- Any religious, political or sectarian purpose
The Foundation is unlikely to support the following activities, however some applications may be considered by exception:
- Other Foundations that are themselves grant making organisations
- Conferences
- Endowments, memorials or named academic chairs
- Government entities
- Retrospective costs or budget deficits
- General fund raising appeals
Generally, grant sizes will be considered up to $50,000.
