Welcome to the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust

Making grants to benefit and improve the lives of the people of Victoria

For 60 years we have given grants totalling over $90m to a wide variety of charitable institutions and a diverse range of projects, with the aim of building vital communities.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life, resilience and development of communities within Victoria, with particular interest in education and vocational training, strengthening rural and regional Victoria, caring for the land, enriching lives through the arts and cultural activities, and improving health.
