The Trustee For The R E Ross Trust
Board Interlocks (1 shared directors)
Giving Philosophy
The Ross Trust practices trust-based philanthropy, offering multi-year flexible support with streamlined, transparent processes. It prioritises equity by focusing on those furthest from opportunity, supports community-led solutions especially in regional Victoria, and builds respectful long-term partnerships with grantees. All grants are by invitation only.
Tips for Applicants
Since all grants are by invitation only, organisations should focus on building relationships and expressing initial interest through contact. Priority is given to community-led, collaborative solutions with strong local leadership in their focus regions (Mornington Peninsula, South-West Coast, Central Victoria, Outer West Melbourne). Proposals should demonstrate how they address educational equity for underserved young Victorians.
Notable Grants
- Funding to support new staff member at a Melbourne school for Indigenous students
- Co-funding a web-based knowledge hub for addressing school attendance problems
