Grants

As a Public Ancillary Fund The John Villiers Trust achieves its mission through granting to eligible charities working in Queensland.

At JVT, we partner with grantees who will make a lasting difference to children and youth in rural, regional, and remote Queensland communities.

To make sure we achieve that outcome, we:

  1. Build strong partnerships with grantees who share our passion for country Queensland and its young people
  2. Focus on grants that will help achieve systemic, long-term change, and
  3. Create connections between funders, communities, and organisations ‘on the ground’.

Grants must meet our five criteria, which ensure we move away from tactical, short-term projects to funding transformative change:

  1. Support harm prevention and early intervention initiatives for children and youth;
  2. Provide long-term, sustained benefits through multiple or deep impacts for beneficiaries;
  3. Leverage partnerships and collaboration including with philanthropic partners, charitable organisations, industry and government to expand the impact of a project or service;
  4. Empower community-led voice and foster engagement in developing solutions tailored to meet local needs.
  5. Strengthen organisational and/or community capacity.
