Charitable and Community Program
Contributing to the community that we’re a part of is important to us, and is something that is deeply ingrained in our corporate culture. We believe that we can make a greater contribution to our community through a combination of donating funds, and contributing our professional services.
Our support through donation
Charities we support through donation have the following attributes:
Innovative
Deliver measurable benefits
Support the under-privileged and disadvantaged
Have strong corporate governance
Our donation makes a tangible difference
In 2017, we have been proud to support:
Thread Together
Thread Together works with some of Australia’s largest clothing suppliers and social service agencies to change the clothes and futures of people doing it tough. Brand new clothes are donated and sorted by age, gender and purpose with the help of corporates and volunteers. Charity partners get them to people in need across Australia.
The collaboration between corporate, clothing and charity partners, means that Thread Together is able to clothe a person in need for just $5.
Pengana’s donation to Thread Together has helped clothe over 3,000 women in crisis circumstances
Black Dog Institute
The Black Dog Institute is a translational research institute that aims to reduce the incidence of mental illness and the stigma around it, to actively reduce suicide rates and empower everyone to live the most mentally healthy lives possible. They are dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental illness.
Pengana’s donation helps in funding research and awareness initiatives.
Our support through funds management services
We also provide funds management services to partner charitable organisations, and rebate all associated fees.
