The Walter Mangold Trust Fund is a newly established Charitable
Fund which originates from arrangements made under the Wills of the
late Anne Marie and Erwin Herzenberg.
The Fund commemorates the beliefs and achievements of Walter
Mangold the father of Anne Marie Herzenberg. Walter Mangold devoted
a good proportion of his life and energies to the teaching of
languages and came to the conclusion that better understanding
between peoples, and consequently lessening of conflict, could be
achieved by improving communication between them. The objects of
the Fund, though relating to a number of specific issues and
outcomes, are reflective of those underlying principles and
beliefs.
Anne Marie and Erwin Herzenberg set aside the substantial part
of their assets to establish the Fund. The foresight and
benefaction of the Herzenberg family should enable the fund to make
a worthwhile contribution to the study of languages in Australia
and more widely, and to the development of understanding between
peoples by virtue of study and dissemination of their
languages.
In 2007 the Fund:
- • funded a number of
projects to further the objects of AIIA Victoria;
- undertook 2
rounds of
grants for Australian students to study abroad in targeted countries
and languages. These grants provided
$115,000 to fund
20 students to study overseas;
- undertook a
round of grants for students
from China, Indonesia and
South America to study in Australia.
An amount in excess of $80,000.
has been committed to fund this round of grants;
- funded an eminent Chinese scholar as Visiting Scholar to the University of
Melbourne .
In 2008 the Fund
will:
•
continue its support of AIIA Victoria;
•
undertake another round of grants for students to
study overseas.
Guidelines and application forms for this round are now available.
The Fund has determined that
for 2008 its grants for students to come from abroad to study in
Australia will be used to assist students from
Timor-Leste to come to Australia to study. These grants will
not be open to general application. Rather, the Fund will
work with some selected organisations in Timor-Leste to find
appropriate candidates.
