2024 Grant Partner
In 2024, we secured 278 donors @ $500 each, giving a total of $139,000 half of which is added to the P500 Endowment Fund. A 4% contribution is made from this Sub Fund annually to the grant amount, providing a lasting, growing, sustainable gift to our community, providing a grant total of $80,000 this year.
As the Endowment Fund grows so the interest component will grow that is added to the grant amount each year.
The three shortlisted organisations in 2024 were;
1. Farm My School
2. Skyline Education Foundation Australia
3. The Men’s Table
