Elsmore Holdings Trust

The Elsmore Holdings Trust gives grants towards the maintenance, education and advancement of children and young people in poor or needy circumstances. Special consideration is given to the alleviation of physical or mental distress.

History

The Elsmore Holdings Trust is a Charitable Trust established through the Will of Bruce Rodney Elsmore, late of Rotorua, who passed away on 24 August 1974. There are three Trustees, being Public Trust, Judge Lawrence Ryan and Dr Stephen Gates, both of Auckland.

When and how to apply

Due to insufficient funds, the Trustees have made the decision to put future granting on hold, to allow the trust to consolidate its investments with the aim of making more meaningful and regular grants in the future. This grant hold is expected to last for up to five years, at which time the Trustees will review the Trusts situation.

Public Trust expects to be able to run another grant round in 2030.
