State Trustees Australia Foundation
Founded by the Right Honourable Sir Zelman Cowen in 1994, State Trustees Australia Foundation offers an easy way of making a philanthropic donation through an established structure.
We take the expense and complexity out of setting up a Trust while still providing the flexibility for you to name the sub-fund after the donor or an organisation.

There are numerous benefits to making your perpetual donation through State Trustees Australia Fund, such as:
- Having a greater impact as the Trustee can pool income from a number of funds, for the same cause
- Unlike Private Charitable Funds, donations are tax deductible
- Your donation can last forever with interest earned being donated to charity each year
- Managed by experts in investment, trusts and grant making
