The Harcourts Foundation – an update…

The Harcourts Foundation is only a year old and already it is having a huge impact in our local communities. I must say that the way our Harcourts family has embraced it, supported it and promoted it at every occasion is really amazing. I am extremely proud of the significant contribution it is making in these challenging times and it really is a reflection of the wonderful culture we have developed and nurtured in our business globally.

In just twelve short months, The Harcourts Foundation has already passed the $300,000 donation milestone, and that figure is rising by the day.

Together with the funds donated to the Red Cross Victorian Bush Fire Appeal earlier this year, and over $70,000 that has already been donated to 19 other charities in Australia and New Zealand, the Foundation has donated over $170,000 to 28 charities so far.

The Harcourts Foundation is already creating a very special legacy in all corners of Australia and New Zealand, and gives all of us here at Harcourts the opportunity to give back to the community that supports us. Another milestone will be reached in October, when Harcourts South Africa will launch the Harcourts Foundation in the republic at their annual Conference.

I am delighted to see The Harcourts Foundation continuing to grow, due largely to the enthusiasm and willingness of our people to share a helping hand with vital organisations in the local community and to become a fundamental and significant part of what the name ‘Harcourts’ stands for.
