Dedication built our past - Your giving shapes the future. A gift today helps safeguard tomorrow’s stories.

Since 1956, the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) has been powered by dedicated everyday people — volunteers, staff, supporters and members — who have all helped protect the places and stories that shape our state’s identity. 

Your donation to the 2025 Appeal helps us:

  • Conserve precious buildings and landscapes in the face of rising costs
  • Share stories that have long been overlooked or untold
  • Create inclusive, meaningful experiences for all Victorians
  • Honour the dedication of people like Chris – past, present and future

With your support, we can continue to make a lasting impact – please give today. 

Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible. For any enquiries about the annual appeal, or to discuss a major gift or bequest, please call 03 9656 9871.

As a not for profit without any operational support from any level of government we cannot continue to do this vitally important work without your support. Please give today.
