The Trustee for Greengib Foundation

Better tomorrows, tended with care.

The Trustee for Greengib Foundation is a registered Australian not-for-profit charity. Established in 2006 and registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, we operate as a private ancillary fund — making grants to charitable organizations that serve people, community, and the living world across Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.

Who we are

A family foundation, quietly funding work that lasts.

Greengib Foundation is a private ancillary fund — a grant-making charity, not a service provider. We do not run programs of our own. We resource the organizations that do.

Our giving follows four program areas: animal welfare, climate and environment, community services, and civic participation.

About the foundation

People collaborating around a table in a community workspace

Supporting the people and organizations who do the work — day in, day out.

Program areas

Four places we put our trust.

We make grants of money to charitable organizations across these program areas — the work named in our ACNC registration.

Animals

Animal welfare

Grants to organizations that protect, care for and advocate for animals — from native wildlife to companion animals.

Environment

Environment & climate

Funding for climate action and the living systems that depend on it — restoration, conservation and community-led care of Country.

Community members offering support and care to one another

Humanitarian

Humanitarian & community

Support for community service organizations standing with people at the edges — at home, in regional Australia, and overseas.

Democracy

Civic participation

Grants that help people take part in civic life — informed, included, and able to shape the places they live.

People at the heart

Real work is done by real people.

Every grant we make is meant to strengthen the hands of those already close to the need — carers, neighbors, volunteers, and the charities that stand with them.

People standing together in mutual support — Community support and belonging

Volunteers working side by side on a community project — Volunteers in action

Community members gathering and connecting — Connection across communities
