The Courier-Mail Children’s Fund exists to change the lives of Queensland children in need. We want to ensure the selection process is above reproach. Your answers will help us decide whether your charity and our Fund will make a good combination, as we work to help as many children as possible.

In order to apply, your organisation must:
• Be working to change the lives of Queensland children in need
• Be a registered charity with the Australian Charity and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC)
• Have Donor Gift Recipient (DGR) status
• Have met all your current reporting obligations with the ACNC
• Be of good standing

Applications can be made at any time. The Courier-Mail Children’s Fund Board meets periodically to assess applications.

Our form has three parts:

Part 1 - Essential criteria and applicant details. Here you’ll share contact details for the person you’re nominating.
Part 2 - The Project. This is your chance to explain about what your project will address.
Part 3 - Additional Information. This will help in our assessment.

Please take a moment to review the form before you start. We encourage you to write your answers in a Word document first because the form has a time limit (about 10 minutes). Thank you.
