James N Kirby Foundation Small Grants - 2024

The James N Kirby Foundation provides grants that impact not only towards the future educational and technical development of young Australians, but also on the health and welfare of many Australians in need as well as The Arts and The Environment. Since its inception, the family has continued to contribute funds and to date has donated nearly $21 million across a broad charitable spectrum, and is committed to distributing approximately $1m in grants each year.

• The Environment - To promote, enhance and conserve Australia’s natural resources
• Health - To support improved physical and mental health as well as quality of life for all Australians.
• Social Welfare, and The Arts - To strengthen our community and address social and economic disadvantage and to promote the development of and access to the arts.
