How the Foundation Began
In
1995 leaders of industry in New South Wales formed the Property
Industry Foundation to mobilise the
financial and human resources to assist organisations providing
services to ‘kids at risk’. The Foundation has grown steadily to
become what is now regarded as
one of the property sector’s
pre-eminent charity initiatives
Structure
The
Property Industry Foundation Pty Limited is a company limited by
guarantee and is
the trustee under the Trust Deed that established the Foundation
in 1995. It is a
registered charitable organisation. The Property Industry
Foundation Pty Limited is a
Recognised Company in all States and
Territories in Australia. The
Directors of the
company are responsible for the proper operation of the company in
accordance with
the Trust Deed and the law. An
Advisory
Board is appointed to help raise funds and toidentify worthwhile recipients of financial support.
Our Vision
To unite the entire national
property industry – developers, construction companies, builders, financiers, investors, owners, service companies, unions,
lawyers and
individuals in an independent initiative to support community
programs aimed at ‘at risk’
youth. The Foundation supports
community programs that facilitate youth employment,
tackle the problems of social alienation, and encourage
self-responsibility.
Our Strategies to Achieve the
Vision
-
To
support community programs that provide practical support and
that,
where possible, produce tangible
results, for example, rigorous youth
unemployment programs that tackle attitude and encourages
self-responsibility.
-
To
provide accommodation for the homeless.
-
To
facilitate jobs and mentor support where possible.
-
To
raise funds for such
programs through corporate and individual donations,
special
networking events and sporting contests.
-
To offset administrative costs
via direct corporate donations.
