Tips for Applicants

Given the trust's focus on managing Cruden Farm as a public green space, direct funding requests may be limited. Approach would be best suited to environmental or community organisations in the Mornington Peninsula/VIC region that align with the trust's stated purposes. The modest annual giving suggests grants are smaller in scale.

Giving Philosophy

The trust's annual giving of approximately $100,000 supports environmental conservation and social welfare causes aligned with the legacy of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Given the property's focus on public recreation and community access, grants likely support initiatives that align with maintaining the garden as a public asset and supporting community wellbeing in the Mornington Peninsula region.
