The Capital Region Community Foundation (GreaterGood) is Canberra and Region's only public charitable foundation, established by the Public Trustee for the ACT.
GreaterGood is not a charity, however we are a charitable fund, and our aim is to "Link Good People with Good Causes".
We do this by making it possible for you to establish your own charitable foundations in a low-cost, tax-effective manner under the umbrella of GreaterGood. You can name your charitable fund, recommend the deductible charities to benefit, receive an immediate tax deduction and see your charities benefit from the income generated perpetually.
GreaterGood currently has in excess of $6.5 million in individual funds which have yielded approximately $1.1 million in distributions to some 69 charities since 2003.
Unlike other charitable foundations, GreaterGood preserves and invests capital donations to produce a permanent income for the benefit and support of nominated charitable causes.
Our Trustee invests donations through common funds and distributions of income are made annually to the recommended charities.
