Trusts / Bequests

The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide is trustee of over 550 trusts established by gifts or bequests to the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ since it established in 1874.

These trusts and bequests provide income for a wide range of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ purposes including prizes, awards, bursaries, scholarships, fellowships, professional chair positions, research funding, books and publications and faculty equipment.

The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ acknowledges with gratitude the generosity of its many benefactors.

What we do

  • Manage the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥-wide compliance reporting program for trusts and bequests to ensure that income of each trust is spent for the purpose specified by the donor
  • Provide legal advice within the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ on new and existing trusts
  • Provide legal advice and work with the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ External Relations branch about proposed bequests and gifts to the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.

For more information about the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s Giving Framework, refer to the External Relations branch (ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ staff login required).
