Projects

Under the community investment strategy the Trust releases up to 50% of its post tax income for investment in projects. So the more income the Trust generates the more money that’s available for distribution.

Projects that apply for money must show a sound business case, clear governance and management structures, transparency and accountability and long-term sustainability. Some community initiatives may attract Trust investment on a less than commercial return basis if the project has a significant impact on the community to justify the investment.

There are three types of projects available for funding – transformational projects, community initiatives and sponsorships.
