The John Villiers Trust provides grants to projects that aim to improve the lives of children and youth living within rural regional and remote Queensland.

The Trust’s granting is aligned to two key strategic goals;

• Partnerships – Build partnerships and engage in collaborations to leverage our resources.
• Communities – Build strategic relationships with communities founded in our values of respect. integrity, transparency and collaboration.

The John Villiers Trust has implemented a two-stage application process. The first step of which is to submit a brief Expression of Interest form (EOI), and if successful, a more comprehensive Grant Application by invitation.

The Board may, in its discretion, invite organisations to submit an EOI or Grant Application.

EOIs may be lodged at any time.  Those wishing to apply to the Trust under the EOI process must contact the Trust’s office via the Contact Us page on our website to discuss the proposal, eligibility requirements and timeframes.

To be eligible to receive a grant, an organisation must have both Charity Tax Concession status and Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status under item 1 of the table in Subdivision 30-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

Further, they require organisations to be registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission and to be up to date with their reporting requirements on the ACNC Charity Register https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity.
