WELCOME TO KEYSTONE TRUST

YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR ASPIRATIONS TO CHANGE THEIR LIFE STORY ARE AT THE HEART OF KEYSTONE TRUST’S PURPOSE.

For almost 30 years, Keystone Trust has provided support for young people from challenging backgrounds – both financial and life – to undertake tertiary study towards a professional career in the property and construction industry. We support students with scholarships and provide an integrated industry engagement programme.

Keystone Trust and our family of sponsors create shared value for each other, for the property, construction and infrastructure ecosystem by lifting the capability and capacity of our future leaders.

Keystone Trust is built on the legacy of Graeme Bringans, a Kiwi property developer who was a strong advocate of promoting opportunities for young people to enter the property industry – particularly those with family, financial or other circumstances which may block their path. Son of Timaru Salvation Army officers, Graeme’s dream was to establish a Trust dedicated to helping such young people find their way into the industry. His dream could have ended by his untimely death at the age of 48 years, however, his widow, Binty, and some close friends established the Graeme Bringans Property Education Trust and provided the seed capital.

After a name change in the mid 2000’s, Keystone New Zealand Property Education Trust, known as Keystone Trust, has delivered on its promise to Graeme and the wider industry.
