Tips for Applicants
Prospective applicants should research any publicly available guidelines through the ACNC register and consider approaching the trust through formal channels with well-documented charitable credentials. Given the trust's modest annual giving and private nature, applications should demonstrate clear alignment with Australian charitable priorities and strong governance.
Giving Philosophy
As a private trust with limited public information, the foundation likely prioritises established charitable organisations and causes aligned with the Arnott family's values. The trust's longevity since 1991 suggests a commitment to sustained, meaningful philanthropic impact within Australia.
