The recipients of the 2008 community grants will be announced in September.
Every year Australian Ethical donates 10% of its profit to useful charitable, benevolent and conservation projects. The grants are made from the shareholder profits of Australian Ethical Investment Ltd. The grants are not made from the investment trusts or superannuation fund managed by Australian Ethical.
Australian Ethical Investment’s record profit for the year ending 30 June 2007 has enabled the company to increase the amount granted to the community. This year a record $224 964 is being donated to 41 community groups working across Australia and overseas. Grant recipients are involved in a wide range of environmental, charitable and community activities.
In 2007 the company has taken a step forward by allocating its first major project grant of $50 000 to The Australia Institute for their project to create teaching materials on climate change for Australian high schools. See below for project details.
