The Trustee for the Halloran Trust
Tips for Applicants
The trust strongly favours local Shoalhaven region organisations that rely on volunteers. Based on their stated priorities, applicants should demonstrate volunteer dependency, local community impact, and alignment with the trust's focus areas of education, environment, heritage, or community services. The trust has specific named beneficiaries it supports regularly, so new applicants should clearly articulate how their organisation serves the Shoalhaven community.
Giving Philosophy
The trust operates from Warren Halloran's belief that protecting the local environment in perpetuity and contributing to regional prosperity is best achieved through sustainable development of land holdings. The trust prioritises discretionary grants to local volunteer-driven organisations, with named beneficiaries including the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum, The Scots College, the Henry Halloran Research Initiative at University of Sydney, and the Community of Culburra. The trust emphasises supporting communities that directly benefit from the Halloran family's historic land development in the Shoalhaven region.
