Charitable Grants Program
The ACMAV Foundation was established to enable people disadvantaged for cultural or socioeconomic reasons a greater access to healthcare services through the implementation of educational and medical aid projects.
The vision is to offer assistance to those in the Australian and international community, while being attentive to the needs of the ethnic Chinese people in particular. One of the ways to realize this vision is for the ACMAV to promote the humanitarian efforts of its members and offer monetary assistance. All members who perform charitable work are eligible to apply for such a grant.
Grants will be prioritised, in descending order of priority, if they are for projects, charitable works or charitable events that:
- Involve the Chinese community in the area of medicine and health;
- Involve the Chinese community;
- Involve other Asian communities in the area of medicine and health;
- Involve other Asian communities; or
- Involve other communities, as decided by the ACMAV Inc Committee.
The amount made available for such funds will vary from year to year, and shall be determined by the Committee of the ACMAV. The total value of each grant will not exceed $2000. The grants will be awarded based on review of the grant applications by the ACMAV Committee in March and September of each year.
