The Foundation’s advisory committee reviews grant applications and makes recommendations to AET Limited to approve grants. The Committee compromises of independent members who were close friends and associates of the Angior Family Foundation’s founder, Leonard Holmes Angior.

• monitor the investment performance of the fund
• review the progress of projects funded by the Foundation
• discuss broader issues aligned to the not-for-profit sector (especially in the areas aligned with the Foundation's granting strategy)
• review grant applications and make grant recommendations to the Trustee

Members of the advisory committee evaluate grant applications based on the wishes and Will of the Foundation’s founder, Leonard Holmes Angior. The Foundation supports:

1. The Anglican Church of Australia Trust Corporation for the Diocese of Melbourne,
2. Charities having, as their main purpose, the support of performing arts in Victoria, and
3. Charities engaged in the provision of medical services or in medical research of any description.

The Foundation accepts annual applications for funding up to $30,000 from February to early April via a specified application process.

In FY21 the Angior Family Foundation received 38 requests for funding totalling approx. $855k. Of these, 14 applied through the performing arts stream and 24 applied for medical grants. Find out more here.
