Variety SA Grants
Variety SA provide grants to fund medical/psychological assessments for children aged up to 18 years who are sick, disadvantaged or living with a disability. No income limits apply.
To apply for a grant, you must be able to demonstrate a genuine need and information on how the assessment will meet this need. You will also need to provide two supporting letters from relevant professionals (e.g. specialists, therapists, teachers) and two quotes. TP Assessments can provide a support letter and quote.
The Variety SA Grants Committee oversees all applications for assistance to ensure that requests are considered in a fair and equitable way and given priority in relation to urgency of need and availability of funds.
The Variety SA Grants Committee meets once a month and applications are considered against set guidelines, including but not limited to:
- Variety SA does not give cash donations; Variety SA will pay the supplier of the equipment directly
- Funding will only be approved prior to purchase of equipment or services (not retrospectively).
- Variety SA will consider gap funding, once you have proof of successful funding.
- Variety SA will not approve grant applications where alternative funding sources are available. Proof of any unsuccessful alternate funding should be included in the application.
- Each applicant must complete the application form. All questions must be answered, and additional paperwork submitted as requested – if this does not occur, it will delay the decision process as grants will not be reviewed until all information is received.
- There is a limit of one grant per recipient per year, except in special circumstances.
The entire process normally takes up to several months for an outcome to be advised. Once the Board has endorsed the Grant Committee’s recommendations, the applicant will be notified in writing whether their application has been approved or declined.
