How we give.

At the Anna Wearne Trust, we are dedicated to making a positive impact in our community. One of the ways we achieve this is through our various types of grants.

At Anna Wearne Trust, our mission is rooted in the belief that education is a transformative force that can break the cycle of poverty. We take great pride in supporting individuals in need by offering small grants to assist with their schooling expenses. These grants serve as a beacon of hope, helping recipients overcome financial barriers and pursue their educational dreams.

One key aspect of our assistance is providing funding for acquiring laptops. In today's digital age, access to technology is crucial for students to thrive academically. By offering grants specifically for acquiring laptops, we aim to bridge the digital divide and ensure that every student has the tools necessary to excel in their studies.

Additionally, we understand the importance of attending classes, whether they are traditional or online. However, many individuals face financial constraints that hinder their ability to regularly attend their desired educational programs. To address this issue, we provide grants that cover the costs of attending classes, enabling students to fully immerse themselves in their education without worrying about the financial burden.

In some cases, acquiring necessary equipment can be a barrier to pursuing education. Whether it's textbooks, scientific calculators, or art supplies, these items are essential to a student's success. Thus, we offer grants that specifically aim to ease the burden of purchasing these required supplies, eliminating obstacles and empowering individuals to focus solely on their learning journey.

Transportation costs should never be a hindrance to a student's education. Many individuals face difficulties in accessing their educational institutions due to limited public transportation options or long commuting distances. To alleviate this challenge, our grants cover transportation expenses, ensuring that students can reach their classes without financial strain. Whether it's a bus or train ticket, we aim to remove transportation as a barrier to education.

Through our small grants program, we strive to provide a helping hand, offering the necessary resources and financial support to make education accessible to all. We firmly believe that investing in education is an investment in a brighter future, and we are dedicated to making that future a reality for those in need.

Our trust offers program grants, which provide funding to organisations and projects that align with our aims and objectives.  These grants support initiatives that aim to improve education, the advancement of First Nations peoples, support young people in leadership roles, support and uphold the rights of women and their respect in all fields.

We also have scholarship grants that help deserving individuals pursue their educational aspirations.

Whatever the type of grant, our trust aims to ensure that the funds are utilised to create lasting change and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.
