The Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust

About

The Keith and Elisabeth Murdoch Trust manages Cruden Farm, a historic garden estate in Langwarrin, Victoria, left by Dame Elisabeth Murdoch for public enjoyment. The trust operates the property as a public green space offering recreation, open days, events, and wedding/photography venues. While ACNC registered for Environment and Social Welfare purposes, the foundation's primary activity is maintaining and opening the garden to the community.

Giving Philosophy

The trust's annual giving of approximately $100,000 supports environmental conservation and social welfare causes aligned with the legacy of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Given the property's focus on public recreation and community access, grants likely support initiatives that align with maintaining the garden as a public asset and supporting community wellbeing in the Mornington Peninsula region.

Tips for Applicants

Given the trust's focus on managing Cruden Farm as a public green space, direct funding requests may be limited. Approach would be best suited to environmental or community organisations in the Mornington Peninsula/VIC region that align with the trust's stated purposes. The modest annual giving suggests grants are smaller in scale.
