Funding opportunities

Thanks to the generosity of our philanthropic clients, Perpetual is able to distribute around $46 million each year on behalf of the charitable trusts that we manage. Non-profit organisations have the opportunity to apply for grants from those trusts through our annual funding rounds.

2012 funding round

Perpetual’s 2012 funding round has closed. Applications received after 5pm EDST on Thursday, 12 January 2012 will not be accepted.

If your organisation has applied for funding as part of the 2012 funding round, we are now reviewing your application and will contact you by 30 June 2012. Unfortunately we are unable to give you information relating to the progress and status of your application until this date.
