Annual Giving
$100K
Grant Range
$5K – $500K
Tips for Applicants
Organisations serving youth, early childhood, aged care, or Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander communities in regional Queensland should emphasise community impact and local need. Applications addressing service gaps in rural/remote areas are likely to align with the trust's priorities.
Giving Philosophy
The trust appears to prioritise grassroots community support and disadvantaged populations, particularly in regional Queensland where service gaps are most acute. Its focus on both youth development and aged care suggests a lifecycle approach to community wellbeing, with particular commitment to Indigenous communities and rural accessibility.
