Applications are open for Mable Community Grants 2026
The Mable Foundation is a public benevolent institute that helps individuals, community groups, and organisations foster independence and inclusion for older people and those with a disability.
The Foundation provides this support through our annual Mable Community Grants program, which offers four grants of $10,000 each.
Applications for 2026 are now open.
What can $10,000 do for your community project?
If your community, sporting group, charity, or not-for-profit organisation is directly improving the lives of people with disability or older people, we want you to apply for one of four $10,000 grants.
Please note, the grant money cannot be used to pay staff or salaries.
What type of initiatives are we looking for?
Successful projects and initiatives will be those that champion independence and inclusion for people with disability and older people.
By applying, you could join our long list of past grant recipients who have genuinely made a difference to the lives of people with disability or older people by helping ensure their inclusion and independence.
Our 2025 winners include:
- Mandy McCracken, for expanding disability peer support workshops across Australian communities.
- Co-founders Tarnia Cooper and Emma Wallis, for creating inclusive skill-building workshops for young adults with disability.
- Alysha McKenzie, to provide over 5,000 pet meals to older people so they could feed their much-loved pets.
- Daniel Durik, for developing "Men Who Care," a project offering peer-led support for male carers of partners with dementia.
