Australia’s big business is now turning towards philanthropic initiatives such as Andrew Forrest and his family owned Minderoo Foundation. Established in 2001 the Minderoo Foundation has invested (AUD) $645 million in driving change in global cancer research to encourage collaboration, ending modern slavery, creating parity for Indigenous Australians, ensuring all children in Australia reach their full potential, nurturing new talents in the arts, generating world-changing research and innovation in Western Australia and innovative community development and environmental conservation initiatives.
Initiatives like the Minderoo Foundation drives our own passion for helping others. Stannards provide services to some of Australia’s significant Not-for-Profit and charitable organisations. Some of these entities are regulated under the Fair Work (Registered Organisation) Act, others under the Corporation Act, the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Act and the Associations Incorporation Act. We continue to advise our clients on the ACNC Regulatory Regime, which is very complex legislation.
Our expertise in the not-for-profit and charitable spans many years working across The Leukaemia Foundation, Port Melbourne Football Club, Vacro, The Plumbers Union, Victorian Local Governance Association, Victorian Hospitals’ Industrial Association, The Plumbing Industry Climate Action Centre and more.
We’re passionate about the relationships we build with our clients and committed to their success as business partners for life. At Stannards, we believe that it’s the people and heart behind their businesses that are truly important.
