Perpetual

Perpetual is one of the largest managers of philanthropic funds in Australia. Our commitment to philanthropy dates back to the 1890s when we became trustee of one of Australia’s first charitable trusts. Since then, we have helped some of Australia’s most generous individuals and families to create a lasting difference in the world by setting up a charitable trust or endowment. We distribute around $125 million to not-for-profit (NFP) organisations each year and around a quarter of this is granted through our IMPACT Philanthropy Application Program.
