The Foundation receives and reviews research applications annually. Applications must be received by the Secretary no later than the last Friday of September (due date for 2019 is 27 September 2019). All applicants will be advised of the success or otherwise of their application.
Grants to successful applicants in recent years have typically been for amounts up to $25,000. While grants are sometimes considerably less, the trustees receive applications for and have granted much larger amounts than this.
Due to some prior year grants not being taken up, in 2019 there is $89,000 available from the general fund. There is also approximately $137,000 available from the suicide prevention fund.
Targeted funding is available for research related to the prevention of suicide. For further information please click here.
