Giving Philosophy

The trust's giving philosophy is rooted in the historical 'Bush Nursing Scheme' launched by Lady Rachel Dudley in 1909, aiming to provide trained nursing and essential healthcare services to country towns and districts in Australia. It continues this legacy by distributing funds to other charities to support health-related initiatives in Victoria, focusing on areas with limited access to services.

Wealth Source:The original 'Lady Dudley's Bush Nursing Scheme' was initiated by Lady Rachel Dudley, wife of William Ward, 2nd Earl of Dudley, who was the Governor-General of Australia and came into significant wealth. The trust fund itself was formally instituted in 1910 and aimed to gather an endowment from the general public. The current revenue primarily comes from investments, suggesting a sustained endowment.

Tips for Applicants

As a small trust that grants to 'other charities' and has no specified open programs or website, prospective applicants should research the trust's historical beneficiaries, particularly those involved in bush nursing or rural health in Victoria, and contact them directly to inquire about their grantmaking process and eligibility. Given the ACNC data indicating zero employees or volunteers, it is likely managed by a corporate trustee.
