Helping philanthropists have impact

For over 100 years, we have connected our philanthropic clients with high-impact organisations to support positive social, cultural and environmental change.  

Each year, not-for-profit organisations across Australia are encouraged to apply for funding through Perpetual’s IMPACT Philanthropy Application Program (IPAP). The process supports the grant-making decisions of many of our philanthropy clients.

Advocating for First Nations

The Perpetual Group’s vision for reconciliation is a more equal society, where First Nations Peoples have the same opportunities for prosperity and a self-determined future.

Our First Nations Communities team works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to address pressing needs such as health and wellbeing, education, housing, preserving their cultures, and setting up infrastructure that will allow them to thrive in future.
