2013 Newman’s Own Foundation charity grants
Newman’s Own Foundation is pleased to announce that Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness are helping the Foundation to select the charities that will share in $USD1 million in funding in 2013.
- Children with Life-Limiting Conditions - projects that enhance the quality of life for children with life-limiting medical conditions, and/or for whom the experience of childhood has been disrupted by circumstances beyond their control.
- Empowerment - projects that empower people to overcome extraordinary adverse circumstances, and/or provide equal access to human rights and contribute to the development of a civil society.
The selected charities with a specific project in either of these two areas will be announced later this year.
Newman’s Own Foundation wishes to thank the many charities that applied for the 2013 funding round.
