Governance Nudgee Trust Application Form

Nudgee Trust Application Form

The Board of Mercy Partners, in addition to their governance role to oversee Mercy Partners ministries, also undertake the role of Trustee for beneficial trusts established by a number of Member Congregations of Mercy Partners. These Trusts have been set up to support the charitable works of the founding congregations.

Nudgee Trust

The Nudgee Trust was established on 8 October 1869 by the Sisters of Mercy Brisbane Congregation and provides grants to ministries sponsored by Mercy Partners. These grants enable ministries to extend the range or depth of mission as they provide critical support to those most vulnerable in our community.

In 2018, the Sisters of Mercy Brisbane Congregation successfully applied to the Courts to transfer the Trustee role to Mercy Partners. Since acquiring responsibility as Trustee for the Trust on 1 January 2019, Mercy Partners has approved grants that have supported Indigenous family services, health and community services for refugees, health initiatives for the wider community, along with providing mental health counselling to College students in need in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each year the Trustees review and approve grant applications received from the ministries of Mercy Partners.
