Grant-makers in Australian Capital Territory — frequently asked
How many grant-makers operate in Australian Capital Territory?
1,160 grant-making organisations on the ACNC register report operating in Australian Capital Territory, deploying $2.5B in grants in their latest reporting year.
Where does this data come from?
Every registered charity — including ancillary funds and foundations — files a public Annual Information Statement with the ACNC. We aggregate those filings; nothing here is private or self-reported.
What does the deployment benchmark mean?
Private ancillary funds must distribute at least 5% of their assets each year (public ancillary funds 4%). We show each fund's grants as a share of its assets against that benchmark — a neutral read of how much of the corpus is being deployed.
How do I approach these funders?
Many don't take unsolicited applications. Create a free account to see which funders' criteria fit your organisation and how each prefers to be approached.
