The Perpetual Fund

The Intrepid Perpetual Fund is run by The Intrepid Foundation Ltd. It is a registered charity in

Australia

and offers tax deductibility. Grants are approved by the TIFL board and disbursed annually.

All donations made to this account are equally divided each year: half is retained in the account to conserve and grow capital for the future and half into an annual grants pool provided to a number of well known and respected international non-government organisations. Both of these components are, of course, matched by Intrepid Travel dollar for dollar up to the value of AU$400,000 per year and for a maximum of AU$5,000 total per donor for the financial year. Administration costs for both funds are entirely funded by Intrepid Travel and 100% of public donations will reach the nominated program or project.

Retaining 50 % of the donation, and hence growing the capital base of the account over time, allows projects in future years to be funded from the interest and other growth achieved. This means your donation will go much further than its original value.

The Intrepid Foundation Limited is a registered DGR public fund. Donations are tax deductible for Australian tax payers.
