Investment firm Perpetual has announced the recipients of its new IMPACT Philanthropy Partnership program.
The inaugural grant model has selected eight charities to receive various sums from a $6.2 million allocation, funded by Perpetual’s philanthropy clients. These charities were selected from applications that demonstrated their “excellence in the areas of governance, leadership, capability and outcomes over the past three years” said Perpetual’s national manager of philanthropy, Caitriona Fay.
The objective of the grants is to create long-lasting community impact and will fund various programs and services, ranging from a youth education model to the development of a data management platform. The total amount of funds distributed to charities by Perpetual on behalf of their philanthropy clients this year is currently in excess of $85 million.
