Education and Sponsorship
As ministries of Mercy Partners, you are able to apply for sponsorship to support the formation of your staff with their education and development goals and responsibilities. Full details are available in the Mercy Partners Education and Sponsorship Protocol and Application Form, located below.
Nudgee Trust
The Nudgee Trust was established on 8 October 1869 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 foundation on 1 January 2019, Mercy Partners has committed resources to support Indigenous family services, refugees, the vulnerable elderly and to boost crisis counselling in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The application process is detailed in the below flow chart.
Please note: Mercy Partners as the Trustee of the Nudgee Trust is undertaking a review of the operations of the Nudgee Trust to ensure that it is fulfuling its object and its operating with ‘best practice’ systems and processes.
To ensure that the review can be as comprehensive as possible the Trustee has resolved not to accept any new grant applications for the 2025 calendar year. Any existing approved grants where funds have still yet to be drawn will, of course, be honoured.
