The National Trust Of South Australia
Tips for Applicants
This is not a grantmaking foundation but a heritage conservation organization. Schools can book educational programs at heritage properties (like the Saumarez Homestead programs shown). Community organizations interested in heritage conservation partnerships should contact directly. Consider volunteering, membership, or seeking partnerships for heritage education rather than grant funding.
Giving Philosophy
Operates as a heritage conservation trust rather than a grantmaking foundation. Focuses on direct preservation and management of historic properties, providing educational programs for schools and community access to heritage sites. Revenue is likely reinvested into property maintenance, conservation activities, and educational programming rather than distributed as grants.
