ANZ Trustees Limited is a Statutory Trustee Company operating in all mainland States and Territories of Australia. It is the sole trustee or co-trustee of approximately 400 charitable trusts, settlements and foundations ("Trusts"). Each year substantial amounts of money are paid to charitable organisations or for charitable purposes in the community on behalf of Trusts administered by ANZ Trustees. Find out more about ANZ Trustees.

Where a trustee has a discretion over distributions of income, the trust is known as a discretionary trust.

Philanthropy Partners, ANZ Trustees will provide you with the information you need to understand what trusts are available to grant seekers, so you can then access the Grant Guidelines and application form for the trust you are interested in. Grant Guidelines are in pdf format and linked from the relevant section of these pages.

Applying for a grant
top

As you would appreciate, there are always more applications for worthy projects than can be funded from the Trust money available for grants. It will help you and the Trustee, therefore, if you would read the Grant Guidelines and the other guidelines to which reference is made before submitting an application.

Please use the appropriate application form attached to the relevant guidelines, provide all the information required and sign and date the form.

Some discretionary Charitable Trusts do not accept applications; so if you are looking for a particular Trust administered by ANZ Trustees, but it is not listed in Grant Guidelines, applications to that Trust will not be able to be accepted. Some Trusts are listed in Grant Guidelines but they will only accept applications from organisations, which have been invited by the Trustees to apply; please do not make an application in these cases. Some other Trusts will only accept applications made through the special Programs and Projects for which those Trusts are listed as providing the funding.

The Grant Guidelines detail all of these requirements and limitations plus some other conditions, including that some Trusts, by law, may provide a grant only:

  • to a specific type of organisation e.g., benevolent societies or educational institutions;
  • for a specific purpose e.g., those who are older and infirm;
  • in a specific geographical area, e.g., Victoria or Queensland.

Separate Guidelines are available for the ANZ Staff Foundation; the William Buckland Foundation; The Sylvia & Charles Viertel Charitable Foundation; the Medical Research and Technology in Victoria Program; and from time-to-time the Strategic Impact Program. These Guidelines can be obtained from anz.com under the link to the specific Foundation or Program.

 
Making an application for a grant
top

Although we are trying to make applying for a grant as simple as possible, it is important that the Trustees have the information they need to make their decision about your application. Consequently all applications must be made on the appropriate application form. Unless otherwise stated in the guidelines, complete the application form attached to Grant Guidelines for ANZ Trustees Programs (PDF, 552kb).

Please complete a separate grant application form for each project or activity for which you are seeking a grant and for each Trust or Program to which you are applying.

All our grant guidelines are in Portable Document Format (PDF). If you require access to any of our grant guidelines in another format, such as Microsoft Word or plain text, please call 03 9273 6799.

 
Closing dates for applications
top

Different Trusts and Trustees consider applications at different times during the year. Closing dates are shown in the relevant sections of the applicable guidelines. Each grant application must be received by Philanthropy Partners, ANZ Trustees by the closing date listed.

So that there is enough time to research applications before the Trustee meetings, late applications will not be able to be accepted.

Trustee meetings are usually held within eight weeks of the closing date of applications, however, this is subject to change.
