The General Fund is our founding programme. The fund currently supports children, young people, their families and their communities and is focused on three key goals:

• Supporting families and communities to provide safe and nurturing environments for children
• Helping children to be school ready by age five and, after that, to participate actively in school life
• Helping young people to develop their potential and to contribute fully in the community.

The Centenary Fund was set up in 1985 to commemorate 100 years of the Todd family‘s business interests. This fund does not accept unsolicited applications; instead we invite organisations to apply for funding projects of national or regional significance that meet current criteria. In 2010 we are exploring how we can contribute to supporting science excellence for primary school aged children.
