What we do

GreaterGood, Canberra's public charitable foundation, provides people with the facility to create their own tax effective charitable funds.

GreaterGood provides everyday people, organisations and communities with the structure to create their own perpetual charitable fund.

We look after the governance, investments, compliance, reporting and auditing. All you need to do is tell us what you would like to name your fund and who you would like your fund to benefit. You can elect one or several charities to benefit, or you can leave that discretion to us. It is your choice.

When you establish a fund with GreaterGood, any money contributed to the fund will be invested in long-term, high-performing growth assets. Each year, the income derived from these investments will be distributed in accordance with your directions.

The idea is that this will provide an alternate and permanent source of income your chosen charities can rely on and that the total amount they receive will exceed what they would have received from a one-off donation. It is very common for charities, particularly in the early stages, to rely on grants and fundraising activities. Having a regular and reliable income stream can help them to plan and to grow.

We also partner with communities to support local organisations and to help bridge the gap between government and community need.
