Apply for a grant
Grants are limited to $2,000 and are open to individuals, community groups and organisations based in South Australia. Priority goes to equipment, or to materials of a permanent nature that will benefit the LGBTIQA+ community.
You do not need to sound like a professional grant writer. What matters is that you explain your project clearly, and how it benefits the South Australian LGBTIQA+ community.
If you are considering applying for a grant, please review our application guide for help in writing a successful application.
Before you start
A strong application makes these four things easy for the Trustees to see.
- Your project has a South Australian LGBTIQA+ focus, involvement, or benefit.
- You can say where the money goes — an itemised list, quote, or realistic estimate.
- Your goals are achievable in the timeframe and measurable when you report back.
- You can complete the project by 30 June the following year.

If anything about the form is unclear, email parkestonefoundation@gmail.com — we would rather answer a question than lose a good project to a confusing field.
The form is on this page and goes straight to the Trustees. Your responses are not published; if your application succeeds, its project name and an outcome summary may be. Trusted services process submissions only to protect and deliver them — see how we handle it.
It is not long, but it is easier with your budget worked out first. There is no save-and-return, so give yourself a clear half hour.
