What the program funds
Back in 1879, Thomas Buckland, then President of the Bank of New South Wales, later to become Westpac, donated his £1,000 bonus to establish the Buckland Fund. The Fund was created to help struggling families of bank employees who had passed away and found themselves in ‘necessitous circumstances’.

What it is for
This program is categorised under the following purposes. Each one that has a page of its own links to every other Australian grant we track for the same purpose.
How to apply
Applications for Financial Hardship Grants are made through Westpac Foundation, not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
