A philanthropic gift
Sustaining the foundation and its Vision through a Perpetual Trust, established in 2024.
We’ve set an ambitious goal to ensure The Daylesford Foundation will continue to support Hepburn Shire children and their families to achieve their education goals and thrive in our local community.
After 6 years running the Foundation, and over $700k invested in the local community, Norma and Jim are now preparing the charity for a life without their continual input.
In 2024 Norma and Jim established The Daylesford Foundation Perpetual Trust to build capital funds to ensure the foundation will have a corpus fund base to draw on, thus providing long-term sustainability and a continuous source of income each year.
Currently, the corpus is $1.6 million. So, we have the (large) challenge to reach our target of $5 million over the next few years, noting that $5 million would provide an income of $300,000 to the foundation per year.
Your philanthropic donation will help us reach this target and ensure the foundation’s future in our community.
If you’d like to consider contributing a significant donation please reach out to Jim directly on 0418 325 735 or click here to use our contact form.
“Thank you for your invaluable support [through the Schools program]. Our school’s utilisation of your generous funding meant we were able to implement a variety of support including the ‘Sniff’ dog therapy program which was aimed at re-engaging students and supporting students with mental health challenges.”
