The applicant organisation must have the support of its committee/board members.
Only one submission per organisation will be considered within the same calendar year.
Applicants must demonstrate the skills, knowledge and capabilities of key people accountable for successfully and responsibly managing the initiative.
Successful organisations must have a bank account to accept funds via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

Successful grantees are encouraged to communicate with the Mary Jane Foundation throughout the project period and, where appropriate, provide content so our organisation can help share your important work in women's health.

Successful organisations must submit an acquittal report within 12 months of funds being received, including a full income and expenditure statement and scanned copies of receipts for major project expenses. The acquittal report can be submitted online or a PDF can be be submitted by email.
A current grant must be satisfactorily completed and acquitted, including unspent grant funds and/or any funds that cannot be used as specified in the grant application to be returned to Mary Jane Foundation at the time of the acquittal submission, before subsequent grant applications can be accepted.
