Australian Ethical Foundation
Our 10% difference
Every year, we donate 10% of profits (after tax and before bonus) to the Australian Ethical Foundation to create environmental and social impact in Australia and overseas. Since 1986, we’ve donated over $5 million, driving positive outcomes for people, animals and the planet. The Foundation donates funds through a public grant round, Community Grants, and a private invitation round, Strategic Grants.
Our approach
A planet with warming above 1.5 degrees will undermine the systems we depend on for healthy people, animals and the environment. As such, we focus our philanthropy to drive real change at a systems and grassroots level to help fight climate change. We utilize our funding to:
- support innovative climate solutions;
- scale effective and proven climate mitigating activities and;
- inspire a new vision for a sustainable and climate safe world
