Tips for Applicants

The trust is currently in transition and not actively advertising grant programs. Direct contact via spicertrust@adelaide.org.au or phone (08) 8231 5321 is recommended for those seeking housing support in South Australia. Given the trust's religious origins through the Uniting Church, applicants connected to church or community services may have stronger pathways.

Giving Philosophy

The trust was founded on providing practical housing support for retired clergy in need, with a focus on ministers' widows and supernumerary ministers. Following the 2021 property sale, it is reassessing its charitable direction while maintaining its historical commitment to housing support in South Australia.

Financial Details

Source of Wealth

The trust's wealth originated from its property portfolio (residential dwellings in Adelaide suburbs) which was accumulated since 1897 through the original endowment from Edward Spicer. The 2021 sale to Adelaide Benevolent Society converted these real estate assets to liquid funds.
