Tips for Applicants

The Peirson Memorial Trust operates directly providing services and engaging in partnerships (such as the Transition to Success program with Bundaberg Youth Justice Service) rather than offering open grant programs for external applications. Prospective partners or those seeking support should directly contact the organisation.

Giving Philosophy

The Peirson Memorial Trust is driven by a Christian mission to "demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ" by supporting at-risk children and youth. Their approach to philanthropy involves direct service provision and strategic partnerships, focusing on holistic development through youth support, counselling services, and vocational training, predominantly funded by the income generated from their farming operations. The organization operates with a core belief in "people before profit".

Financial Details

Source of Wealth
The trust was established through the donation and bequest of sugar cane farms (Heytesbury and Redcliff estates) in Bundaberg by the Peirson sisters. Current funding for their charitable activities is derived from the proceeds of their agricultural operations (avocados and macadamias) on these inherited farm properties.
