Chairman Jim Dwyer and the Sydney Charity Committee.
Each year, the Charity Committee seeks out and considers proposals for financial support from charitable organisations. The Charity Committee comprises staff and partners from all our Australian offices, and is represented in Asia through our Asia offices’ Community Committee.
The Charity Committee's general approach is to focus on a small number of significant projects. Our aim is to provide financial support directly to those in need. We strongly value the relationships we have formed with these organisations, and are proud to support projects that make a real impact in our community. Alongside these specific projects, individual partners and staff contribute their time and skills to a variety of charitable organisations.
For more information about the Charity Committee, please contact Niamh Mooney.

Matched Funding Program
Since 2005, the Pro Bono and Charity Committees have conducted the Matched Funding Program as a combined initiative to encourage philanthropy among staff. Monthly donations are made from the pre-tax salaries of staff to a range of approved charities, which are then matched dollar-for-dollar by the firm. Any charity may be nominated for inclusion in the program, and there are approximately 80 charities throughout Australia and overseas that are currently included. The program is a great way for everyone to engage in giving back to the community.
