About

The State Trustees Australia Foundation is a perpetual public charitable trust established in 1994 that helps Victorians leave lasting legacies through wills, trusts, and structured giving. It manages over $150 million in charitable funds and distributes grants to support vulnerable Victorians, medical research, environmental causes, and regional communities. The foundation serves as both a vehicle for individual legacy gifts and an active grant-maker supporting charitable causes across Victoria.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation takes a strategic, long-term approach to philanthropy by investing gifts in perpetuity and distributing a portion annually while reinvesting the remainder for future impact. It prioritises helping vulnerable Victorians, supporting medical research, environmental protection, and regional community development. Grants are made either to specific charities named by donors or to general charitable purposes through the foundation's own grant programs.

Wealth Source:This is a corporate foundation established by State Trustees (Victorian Government-backed entity). It receives wealth through individual bequests, gifts in wills, and charitable trusts established by donors. The foundation manages and invests these funds, using investment income to fund annual grants.

Tips for Applicants

Since this foundation primarily distributes funds through donor-specified bequests and its own Philanthropic Grants program, charities seeking funding should align with its stated focus areas: vulnerable Victorians, medical research, environment and animal protection, and regional communities. The foundation prefers strategic, lasting giving over one-off donations, so applications emphasising long-term impact and measurable outcomes would be well-suited.
