History
Helen Macpherson Schutt, who lived a life marked by charity, passed away in 1951, bequeathing a significant portion of her wealth to create this trust. Her estate was valued at £406,121, with £275,000 allocated to establishing the trust to benefit charitable institutions in Victoria[5].

Through these efforts, the trust has maintained a long-standing commitment to improving the lives of Victorians.
Partnerships and Grants

As of recent years, it has granted substantial funds to support community projects and charitable endeavors. For instance, it has supported the Melbourne Genealogy Centre at the State Library of Victoria[5].
