The Board of Directors of The Australian Community, in accordance with its By-Laws, Policies, and in keeping with maintaining its status as a 501(c)(3) Public Charity, may at times, choose to contribute to other organizations who share a similar mission and only if the contributions further our exempt status.

The Australian Community Inc. may exercise its right under law to contribute to non 501(c)(3) organizations only on the condition that The Australian Community Inc. retains control over the use of the funds and maintaining records showing that the funds are used for the purposes agreed to in the Grant Application.

A Grantee may be initially eligible for Grants up to $US100,000.00 each.

Eligible organizations must accept the following Terms and Conditions to receive Grants:

  • The Grant may only be used for the agreed purposes set out in the Grant Application.
  • No part of the Grant may be used for administrative costs, marketing and advertising expenses, influencing legislation, or illegal activities.
  • Grants may be made to fund individuals’ day-to-day living expenses, and or travel, as long as those expenses are to directly support activities for which the Grant is made.
  • A Semi Annual Grant Use Report must be submitted with supporting evidence, through an expenditure report and or photographs, highlighting the positive impact the Grant has made.
  • Failure to meet the Terms and Conditions of the Grant will render the individual or organization ineligible for future Grants.

Please complete the following form so that our Board of Directors can commence its proactive due diligence process. Successful Grantees will be notified to discuss the amount of Grant(s), request bank account information, and the schedule of payments.

All Grants from The Australian Community are subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

About The Australian Community

Based in New York City and now in our tenth year, our 501(c)(3) organization was formed specifically to connect professional Australians in America. Over the past decade, The Australian Community has assisted tens of thousands of Australians in New York and across America.

In addition to our public social media, our members connect through a private Enterprise Social Network. Our network facilitates 1:1 connections. Most importantly, it contains the most extensive private Australian knowledge base in North America.

Therefore, whether you are an Australian in New York or another U.S. city, our non-profit services can connect you with other professional Australians to help you achieve your business goals.

If you are an Australian living in or moving to America, you can join The Australian Community.
