Giving for maximum
Environmental and social impact
Thank you to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy for generously offering their beautiful images.
Ethinvest’s Community Impact Foundation is a public ancillary fund, a communal philanthropic structure that helps you take a planned, tax effective approach to your giving.
Ethinvest’s Community Impact Foundation (CIF) makes charitable giving simple, flexible and powerful. Established in 2014, the CIF is now one of Australia’s largest Public Ancillary Funds, with:
- More than 70 Giving Funds
- A $28 million ethically-screened, impact focused investment pool
- Charitable giving of more than $15 million over more than ten years.
Why join the CIF?
The CIF was created to help you give more effectively, quietly and with confidence. You can:
- Ensure all your charitable money is working for good – your money is invested for good, aligning with and enhancing the positive power of the donations you make
- Get a tax deduction when you need it – if you want a large deduction in the year of the donation to the CIF, or if you want to spread it out over up to five tax years, there are good options available that help maximise the funds you will have to give to your favourite charities
- Streamline your philanthropy – giving is simple, just send a request through to our team and we look after payments and receipts
- Remain anonymous (if you wish) – your Giving Fund will not be named unless you request it, avoiding funding appeals and charity information.
