Funders for public safety — frequently asked
How many funders support public safety in Australia?
86 grant-making organisations on the ACNC register are associated with public safety, deploying $71.2M in grants in their latest reporting year.
How are funders matched to public safety?
From public data: each fund's ACNC program classifications where available, otherwise its stated charitable purposes. It reflects what a fund is set up to support — always confirm current priorities with the funder directly.
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.
