The National Trust Of Australia (Wa)

About

The National Trust of Western Australia is a statutory heritage conservation organisation that protects, conserves, and interprets Western Australia's natural and cultural heritage across more than 60 places and 20,000 artefacts. It connects communities to heritage value through conservation, education programs, events, and interpretation, operating as a membership-based organisation reliant on government appropriations and community support. The organisation serves rural, regional, remote, and general communities across Western Australia with a focus on raising awareness and understanding of the state's diverse heritage.

Giving Philosophy

The National Trust believes cultural and natural heritage is intrinsically valuable and should be protected for future generations. It approaches its work through community engagement, partnership with government, and leveraging the economic and social value of heritage. The organisation prioritises connecting diverse communities to heritage through accessible education, conservation, and interpretation rather than traditional grant-making.

Tips for Applicants

This is not a traditional grant-making foundation but rather a heritage conservation organisation. Engagement opportunities include volunteering, event registration, educational program participation, membership, and donations. Organisations seeking support should align with heritage conservation, education, or community engagement objectives in Western Australia.
