Welcome to the John Villiers Trust

We are an independent philanthropic Trust established by the late John Villiers.

The Trust gives grants to Queensland charities, and particularly supports communities to participate in projects which will enrich lives and strengthen social spirit.

John Villiers spent his early life at sea. A quiet, unassuming man, in later life he was a jackaroo and pastoralist who spent much of his life in Central, Northern and Outback Queensland. He gave to many charities and worthy causes in his lifetime, and today the Trustees continue his tradition to benefit future generations of Queenslanders.
