Building partnerships to empower peoples’ lives

We believe everyone has the capacity to achieve personal empowerment. And there are many organisations and small businesses with personal growth and self-development programs, mentoring/coaching, initiatives and projects making a positive difference in the world of others.

This is where we come in. We’re here to offer financial support, build collaborative relationships and networks with like-minded organisations committed to supporting and teaching those in need the tools and skills to rebuild their lives and achieve personal fulfilment.

Grant rounds

We hold one grant round per year.

• April Grant round – closes on 30 April

The ETREA Foundation uses the Good Grants platform to help manage grant applications. This platform allows applicants to register and create a log in, allowing you to save your progress. Each application is saved and can be referred to in the future. Successful applicants will complete progress and conclusion reports linked to their successful application.

Grant rounds are typically open for 2 months.

How it works

Simply click on the link to apply for a grant.

First time users will be asked to “Register”. Include your first and last name, email address, create a password and agree to the terms. Confirm your account via the email sent to your inbox, log in and away you go. Ensure you enable email notifications, otherwise you will not receive an email with the outcome of your application.

Grant Guidelines – download this important document and ensure you read through it carefully as it contains valuable information on the ETREA Foundation grants, process, criteria and application process.

Once logged into the grant platform be sure to read the important information at the top of the page and when you’re ready click the “Start application” for the available grant round.

On the first tab “Start here” you can download a blank application .pdf for reference (Please note email submissions using the blank form will not be accepted), choose the Grant Fund you are applying for, and give your application a name. Typically applicants use their project name for the Application name.

Complete the Eligibility questions, and click the green “Check Eligibility” to ensure you meet our criteria. Once approved click “Save + Next”.

You will be asked to provided information about:

• your organisation
• yourself and/or the person responsible for the running of the project (mentoring, course, etc)
• the goals, outline of the project and ongoing support you will provide participants
• why you believe your project enables individuals to heal their emotional health
• financial background (e.g. why you need the financial support from us)
• budget, including information about other sources of revenue

Once you have submitted your application it will go through mediation and then into the grant assessment/review by the Board of Directors.

We have one grant round per year:

• Opens early March
• Closes on 30 April
• Applications are reviewed throughout May
• Notification in early June of grant application outcome

The Board of Directors will review applications in the weeks after grant rounds close. If we require further information and clarity in regards to your application we may organise to meet with applicants (either in person or via video chat) as we prefer to work face-to-face. This enables us to get a real feel for who you are and what you’re about in order to make final decisions. Although this has been a rare occurrence.

Following the grant round review all applicants will receive an email with our decision. (Again, make sure you have email notifications enabled otherwise you won’t know if you are successful or not). Unfortunately we are not able to provide detailed feedback to unsuccessful applicants.

Successful applicants will need to complete a contract and provide bank account details prior to receiving grant monies.

Successful applicants are required to complete a report at the conclusion of their project. This provides us with valuable feedback about the outcome, success, challenges, etc of your project. Also, we are dedicated to improving our processes and we may ask for your feedback on the entire grant process.

Questions? If you have questions along the way please feel free to visit our terminology page and/or contact us.
