Pro-bono professional services

In 2019, a team of corporate advisors led by Managing Director Chris Wyke worked pro-bono with JB Were to help the Australia Council Research Foundation (ACRF) position four new cancer research initiatives similar to a financial product or new fund investment.

The initiative is called “Impact Philanthropy” with the investment team taking a fresh approach to how ACRF fundraise by presenting the projects as they would financial products in an Information Memorandum.

Community partners

Each community partner is supported by a minimum annual donation of $50,000 over a three-year period to be invested in helping to realise their strategic objectives.
