Future2 grants
Since May 2007 Future2 has made grants of over $150,000 to community charities and not-for-profit bodies working with disadvantaged young Australians. Each application comes to us with the support of a financial planning professional.

Focus areas
Future2 supports initiatives that further its mission to support the financially and socially under-privileged and to enable the financial planning profession, and others linked to it, to give back to the community from which they draw their livelihoods.
We contribute to projects and programs which give a second chance and hope for a better future to Australians trapped in difficult financial and social circumstances.
We seek to support programs and projects that:
- are targeted to disadvantaged and those in society who have special needs;
- focus on young people up to the age of 25;
- operate on a regional or nationwide basis; though local projects that have potential for wider application may also be considered;
- are able to demonstrate results;
- involve financial planning professionals in some capacity, eg, as community volunteers or in pro bono activity
- are collaborative in nature, with non-profit organisations working, for example, with social service and youth agencies or community-based adult education centres.
Please note
All grants are made at the sole discretion of Future2 Foundation, based on its evaluation of individual applications, its determination of relative priorities, and the availability of funds.
The Foundation reserves the right not to award any specific grant for any reason, or for no apparent reason, no matter how deserving the proposed project may be or closely the requester has followed the guidelines and procedures.
