About The Jellis Craig Foundation

Active community service has been integral to Jellis Craig’s culture since its beginning.  This dedication was formalised with the establishment of the Jellis Craig Foundation in 2013, amplifying its impact locally, nationally, and internationally. The Foundation’s success has been driven by the collaborative efforts of staff, network leaders, and the Board, fostering stronger connections within the communities where Jellis Craig operates.

The Foundation has raised over $3.5 million to support partners, projects, and initiatives since inception. With more than a decade of meaningful contributions, the Foundation has been deeply supported by the unwavering efforts of Jellis Craig offices and staff. These collective actions have promoted vital initiatives and cultivated authentic relationships with key partners, including Hands Across the Water, The Big Umbrella,

Lighthouse Foundation, LifeChanger Foundation, McAuley Community Services and The Resilience Project.

A significant portion of the Foundation’s funding comes from every Jellis Craig property sale, where a percentage of sales commissions is allocated to the Foundation. Additionally, Jellis Craig staff and offices make personal contributions, further enhancing the Foundation’s ability to drive positive change.

The Jellis Craig Foundation’s impact and investment strategy focuses on empowering staff to give back to their communities while amplifying the influence of its partner charities through funding for impactful projects and initiatives.

Making a Difference and Donations.


The Jellis Craig Foundation’s impact and investment strategy is to encourage and support staff to give back to the communities where Jellis Craig operate and to strengthen the impact of the charitable organisations we partner by funding their projects and initiatives.

The majority of contributions come from each and every Jellis Craig sale, where a percentage of each sales commission supports the foundation. In addition, personal contributions are made by Jellis Craig Staff and offices office initiatives.

The Jellis Craig Foundation welcomes support from the wider community. You can help make a difference by donating to the Foundation directly, actively participating in the charity partners' projects and initiatives, or through fundraising and events.

The Foundation appreciates your continued support and looks forward to working with staff and our communities so the Foundation can make an even bigger impact in the future.
