about the foundation

RACV is committed to serving the community. That’s why we created the RACV Community Foundation – to deliver vital funds to not-for-profit community groups.

Grants of up to $10,000 help grassroots organisations – often staffed by volunteers – deliver local projects that help improve the lives of people in need throughout Victoria. Since 1997, the Foundation has approved grants worth around $1.9 million to approximately 370 Victorian charities. 

In 2012 the Foundation will focus on supporting mobility in our community as its primary area of philanthropic funding, with a view to enhancing safety, environmental sustainability and/or social cohesion.

The 2012 grant round is now open. For more information or to apply, click the 'apply for a grant' button. The 2012 grant round closes on Friday July 6 at 5pm.
