Priorities for Funding
The IHC Foundation's mandate is broad but within that broad brief the Board has established priorities for funding. These may change from time to time or in any one year the Board may focus on a single priority. The priorities for funding are:
- Projects directed at public education that change discriminatory attitudes and practice.
- Work related initiatives that help people find meaningful, sustainable work.
- Educational initiatives that build the skills of people with intellectual disability and their families and help people help themselves.
- Initiatives aimed at enhancing the physical health and wellbeing of people with intellectual disability.
Funding Guidelines
- The IHC Foundation rarely commits to ongoing funding and will need to know how your project will be funded on an ongoing basis if ongoing funding is required.
- The IHC Foundation will not provide income support or social welfare assistance of a general nature.
- The IHC Foundation prefers initiatives that demonstrate collaboration and co-operation between groups of people and where learnings and resources are made available more widely.
- The IHC Foundation is more interested in innovation and bold new ways of doing things than projects that maintain the status quo.
- The IHC Foundation has a preference for programmes in which people with intellectual disability and their families are involved in the decision-making roles.
