Four areas of need. Chosen for the long term.

Our grant-making is deliberately focused. Twenty years of giving has taught us where steady funding matters most — and these four areas are where our income goes, year after year.

Area 01Community

Community & Wellbeing

Hard moments do not announce themselves. When a family loses an income, when rent outruns wages, when disaster turns a street upside down — frontline community charities are the ones who answer the door first.

We fund the organisations that meet people at exactly those moments, with practical help delivered with dignity.

Food relief programs and community pantries
Emergency relief and financial counselling services
Services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness
Disaster response and community recovery efforts
Support for financially disadvantaged families

Area 02Education

Education & Opportunity

Talent is everywhere in Australia; opportunity is not. A scholarship at the right moment, a mentor who stays, a program that believes in a young person before they believe in themselves — these change the arc of a life.

We back charities working with children and young people, from early childhood through to those under twenty-five finding their footing.

Scholarships and bursaries for disadvantaged students
Mentoring programs for young people aged 6 to 25
Early childhood learning and literacy initiatives
Programs keeping young people engaged in education
Pathways into work for youth facing barriers

Area 03Environment

Environment & Land

A perpetual trust thinks in generations — and nothing teaches generational thinking like land. The country we restore today is the country someone's grandchildren will inherit.

We fund conservation and restoration work across Australia, including programs that protect native species and the bush they depend on.

Land restoration, revegetation and tree planting
Conservation of native habitat and wildlife
Waterway and coastal care programs
Community environmental education
Programs caring for country, including Indigenous-led work

Area 04Health

Health & Resilience

Behind every chronic illness is a household carrying it. Behind every carer is a person who rarely asks for help themselves. Health charities hold up some of the heaviest loads in Australian life, often on the smallest budgets.

We back charities supporting people with chronic and terminal illness, people with disabilities, and the carers and communities around them.

Mental health support and community resilience programs
Services for people with chronic or terminal illness
Support and respite for carers
Charities serving people with disabilities
Community recovery after crisis or disaster
