The Bequests of Russell and Mab Grimwade
John Poynter, Benjamin Thomas
The great philanthropic gift of Russell and Mab Grimwade—The Miegunyah Fund—has opened up incredible opportunities for the University of Melbourne.
The great bequests of Russell and Mab Grimwade have opened up extraordinary opportunities for the University of Melbourne, enabling an exciting range of initiatives.
Through the Miegunyah Distinguished Visiting Fellows program, Australia has benefited from the visits of more than a hundred international academics. The University's cultural collections have been enriched by the treasures of the Grimwades' collections of art, rare books and Australiana. Russell Grimwade's passion for chemistry, appreciation of art and sense of obligation to preserve the past has driven the development of the Grimwade Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation. Russell's first allegiance may have been to biochemistry, but he had a wider vision: to fund the 'birth of an antipodean Clarendon Press' at Melbourne University Press. The distinguished Miegunyah imprint has realised his ambition and this book is the most recent volume in that series.

“
The story of the Grimwades and their generous parting gifts is far from being a story about money and influence. Rather it shows how bequests can fittingly honour lives and perpetuate values and beliefs.”
