The Australian Charities Fund is an Australian founded and led organisation established to facilitate the development of Workplace Giving programs, and associated community involvement programs, within large employer organisations.
Its mission is to 'facilitate unprecedented levels of Australian giving'.
History
The Australian Charities Fund was initiated by a team of Bain & Company consultants while working on a pro-bono project for the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. The team researched charitable giving in other developed countries and observed that individuals in those countries give as much as three to six times more than the average Australian.
The team reasoned that Australians are naturally generous in supporting others in our community, so something must be missing. We believed that the missing feature was a program that enabled Australians to donate regularly to the charity of their choice in an easy, low cost and tax effective manner.
The Australian Charities Fund was established to meet this need.
