Benefits of sponsorship and making a bequest
Our Fellows
For many years now the Churchill Trust has welcomed
sponsorships from appropriate organisations and individuals
who wish to have their name and reputation associated
with Sir Winston Churchill and the work of The Trust.
The Churchill Trust’s success is directly attibutable to the
achievements of our Fellows – now numbering more than 4,100
(as at January 2017) of Australia’s best and brightest. Their
projects are extremely diverse, invariably innovative and are the
result of extra endeavour in the search for excellence. These are
the hallmarks of a Churchill Fellow.
A high level of visibility and credibility is associated with the
sponsorship of a Churchill Fellowship. This can generate very
positive publicity for the organisation or individual sponsor,
positioning them within the Australian community
as very practical and altruistic supporters of innovation in
Australia.
Alternatively, a direct bequest can also be made to the Trust.
The Trust is recognised as a not-for-profit organisation by the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO). This means all sponsorship
costs, bequests and donations are fully tax deductible.
Choosing the topic of your Fellowship
Sponsored Fellowships can have any purpose or topic for
study or investigation. The description of the Fellowship
purpose is determined by the sponsor in consultation with the
Churchill Trust. Alternatively, the topic of the Fellowship can
be left open and be awarded by the Trust after successful
applications are assessed by the Board.
It is important to realise that the Churchill Fellows themselves
are ordinary Australians – with extraordinary abilities and
aspirations. A glance through our comprehensive database
of Fellows will quickly confirm this, as will the topics of their
Fellowships.
Churchill Fellows are invariably talented, extremely passionate
and have the determination to share the results of their
Fellowship with the community upon their return to Australia.

Sponsorship Costs
A one-off sponsored Churchill Fellowship costs approximately
$26,000.
Some sponsors have continued their sponsorship for many
years at the yearly rate and others have elected to have a
Fellowship named in perpetuity at a one-off cost.
Under other agreed arrangements sponsors can choose to fund
a Fellowship biennially or every four years. The frequency of
award can be determined by the sponsor.
The Trust ensures that all contributions made by a sponsor
provide funding for the Fellowship costs only. All administrative
costs are already provided for by the investment returns of the
Churchill Trust.
