Positions

Morialta Nominees Pty Limited is trustee for the Morialta Charitable Trust Fund, a public ancillary fund established in 1980 that currently has 8 volunteer Directors, supported by a small team of two part-time staff.  As trustee, the Board of Morialta Nominees are responsible for the stewardship and growth of invested funds.  These funds are distributed annually to grant applicants for works and programs relating to disadvantaged youth in South Australia.

The Board’s main activities are through appropriately skilled Committees:

• Investment – managing an investment corpus from which the annual grants program is funded;
• Grants – managing a grant application and approval process that results in approximately $0.5m annual grant distributions;
• Marketing and Fundraising – supporting the Board to drive the fundraising and marketing strategy.

The Board meets 6 times per year, and Committees a further 4-8 times.  Some non-Board members also form part of various subcommittees.

After a valued contribution the current Chair is stepping down at the end of 2024 but will continue to support this very worthy entity as a Board Director.  This creates an opportunity for an appropriately motivated and experienced individual to build on the current foundation.

Applications are encouraged from accomplished professionals with a genuine desire to contribute their capabilities to the ongoing governance, evolution and growth of this very purposeful entity.  Professional skills in investment strategy, legal, governance or philanthropy, complemented by proven commercial acumen are necessary for success in this role.  In addition, highly developed relationship, collaboration and influencing skills, sound judgement, energy and authenticity will be important personal attributes for effective leadership of the Board.  Previous Chair experience will be highly regarded but not essential.

This volunteer role offers an exciting opportunity to work closely with a skills-based Board and dedicated team to help reach a vision where all young South Australians reach their full potential.
