Elders Real Estate has announced its Elders Community Giving fund, a dedicated project for grassroots initiatives that seeks to promote sustainable, focused and long-term change in regional Australian communities.
The program is one purposefully developed to target impact, necessitating potential grants to align with at least one of the following pillars:
- Investing in people and regions
- Environmental awareness
- Innovation into the future
- Healthy bodies and minds
- Encouraging and celebrating diversity
- Safety first
- People’s choice
Elders CEO, Mark Allison, stated that the grant program aims to spur innovative initiatives and projects that will seek to start addressing challenges faced within regional communities.
“This initiative is one way we will give back and invest in initiatives that will support in building further connections and capability in our towns,” stated Allison.
“There is so much creativity and ingenuity in our regions, and I am pleased that we can play our part to bring these to life, alongside our village of people and partners.”
Elders general manager of real estate and brand, Belinda Connor, reaffirmed Elder’s commitment to giving initiatives.
“Supporting the communities in which Elders business owners and staff live, work and play is something our network is very proud of.”
“Elders gave $3.3 million in donations and sponsorships in 2023 alone. Giving back has been a hallmark attribute of Elders since its inception 185 years ago,” Connor concluded.
This announcement comes at a time of recent transformation and growth for Elders, having recently revealed a full refresh for its branding across more than 300 officers.
