This article from Third Sector Review details the application processes of 40 Australian grantmakers, and explores the information they seek from their grant applicants prior to making a grant. It considers the methods by which Australian grantmakers seek information about applicants, the content of that information, and considers the underlying nature and purposes of seeking that information. The paper concludes that Australian foundations must further consider the uses, functions and potential consequences of pre-grant investigation before it is developed further.
