Stan Perron Charitable Trust
About
The Stan Perron Charitable Trust provides community and health research grants to charitable organisations in Western Australia, with a primary focus on improving the health and well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults. The foundation supports both community-based initiatives assisting disadvantaged Western Australian children and research programs aimed at advancing child and youth health outcomes.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation prioritises evidence-based approaches through two distinct funding streams: community grants for direct support of vulnerable Western Australian children and health research grants for rigorous research improving child and youth health outcomes. It values alignment with its funding guidelines and accepts applications year-round with structured assessment periods, indicating a commitment to both responsive and strategic grantmaking.
Tips for Applicants
Applicants should clearly demonstrate how their work aligns with the foundation's specific focus on Western Australian children's health and well-being. Community organisations should apply during the designated rounds (May and November assessments), while research organisations can submit year-round for Programs & Partnerships or during the annual People & Platforms round.
