The Trustee For The John Ridley Memorial Trust

About

The John Ridley Memorial Trust is a long-established charitable trust founded in 1912 in memory of John Ridley, supporting educational initiatives for children and early childhood development in South Australia. The trust provides annual grants to organizations and programs that advance education for young children, with a particular focus on early childhood care and learning in the Adelaide region and across South Australia.

Giving Philosophy

As a memorial trust established over a century ago, the foundation values supporting educational opportunities for young children, particularly in their early developmental years. Grants are likely directed to organisations that demonstrate clear educational outcomes for children and align with the trust's historical mission of serving South Australian youth through education.

Tips for Applicants

Given the trust's modest annual giving of $25,000 and specific focus on early childhood education in South Australia, applicants should be small to medium-sized SA-based organisations with established programs in early childhood education. Direct contact with the trustee would be advisable given no public website is available.
