Grander鈥檚 Trust is a legacy trust, acknowledging Mr Richard Stevens who became lovingly known as 鈥楪rander鈥� by his grandchildren.

He was very generous with his resources to the benefit of everyone around him, but above all he wanted to build a strong foundation for his family. Grander鈥檚 Trust believes that a strong foundation also requires a healthy environment and equitable society and is continuing his generosity in that spirit,鈥� explains his daughter.
In 2023, Future Earth Australia will utilise this funding to build on its track record of advancing Australia鈥檚 sustainability agenda.
