This structure supports long-term philanthropic strategies, helping donors to make a sustained impact.

Philanthropic Services

The foundation works closely with financial advisers, accountants, and other professionals to integrate structured philanthropy into client financial planning. It encourages considering philanthropy not only during the typical festive season but also at other key times such as the end of the financial year, when charitable contributions may be particularly beneficial for tax planning.

Governance and Registration

Elston Giving Foundation is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) as a public ancillary fund. The trustee of the foundation is Elston Giving Foundation Ltd., ensuring compliance and governance standards are maintained in managing the fund’s activities.

Mission
