The Trustee For The Qantas Foundation Memorial Trust

Government Funding ($52K)

Giving Philosophy

This entity primarily operates as a museum and heritage organization rather than a traditional grantmaking foundation. Its charitable purpose is fulfilled through direct program delivery - operating the museum, preserving historic aircraft, providing educational tours, and staging exhibitions that celebrate Australian aviation history and make culture accessible to regional and national audiences.

Tips for Applicants

This is not a grantmaking foundation - it operates the Qantas Founders Museum as its charitable activity. They accept financial donations (tax deductible over $2) and occasionally accept volunteers for major projects. Those wishing to donate objects or artefacts should contact Senior Curator Sarah Johnson, noting that items must be assessed for significance and approved by their acquisitions committee. The organization does not typically purchase acquisitions due to limited funding.
