About Us
The Julia Farr MS McLeod Benevolent Fund provides grant funding for projects that offer benefits to people living with disability.
The fund was originally established by a bequest from the estate of the late Murdoch Stanley McLeod, a prominent South Australian businessman, to help future generations of South Australians. Since then, other monies have been added to the Fund from a range of sources.
The fund is governed by a board of trustees and supported by a small team of professional staff. Our current trustees are:
Mark Priadko, Board Chair
Catherine Whitington, Deputy Chair
Tricia Spargo
Paula Davies
Trustees are interested in innovative initiatives that help people living with disability to have authentic personal control of their own lives and take up valued roles in mainstream community life.
