The Harcourts Foundation Turns Three!

This month I am incredibly pleased to celebrate the third anniversary of The Harcourts Foundation. In August 2008, The Harcourts Foundation was launched with the aim of providing support that helps, grows and enriches our communities.

After asking our team in 2008 if there was a better way to invest in the communities where we work, live and play, their overwhelming response led to the launch of The Harcourts Foundation in Australia and New Zealand.

In just three years, The Harcourts Foundation has raised well over $1.2 million in donations and has provided funding grants for over 200 charities across Australia and New Zealand. Also, we now have over 150 offices signed up for the ‘off the top’ giving scheme.

Since its establishment, our team have accomplished some truly amazing things in order to support the Foundation – a team of riders from Harcourts Victoria and Queensland rode 1,700kms from Melbourne to the Gold Coast and raised over $70,000, a team from Harcourts Western Australia participated in the Variety Club Bash for the second year in a row, and next year, a group will tackle the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea!

I’m so proud of the way the Harcourts team has embraced and supported The Harcourts Foundation. Being able to support our local communities is incredibly important to Harcourts as those communities have supported us so strongly over the years.

It’s been great to watch The Harcourts Foundation grow and develop, but its success really comes down to our dedicated team who have supported it wholeheartedly.
