What is the Dalwood-Wylie Foundation

The Dalwood-Wylie Foundation was established for the purpose of making contributions to nonprofit organisations in Australia which support programs or facilities for disadvantaged groups in the community.

Our funding commitments are usually allocated towards capital needs, or for explicit projects with clearly defined timelines. We approve up to ten funding requests annually, equal to approximately $150,000 in total. The size of our donations usually ranges from $10,000 to $20,000 each.
