All in a day’s work! Shaw and Partners is extremely proud to announce that yesterday the Shaw and Partners Institutional Team raised $378,811 for charity from the activity of its annual Institutional Foundation Day.

The Institutional Foundation Day is possibly the most impactful Shaw and Partners’ charity initiative to date, which sees all brokerage generated on one nominated day through institutional trades donated to a number of very worthwhile charities each year.  

Today, Shaw and Partners has committed half of the funds raised to the Australian Fund Manager’s Foundation which supports a myriad of smaller not for profits including the Sydney Children’s Hospital, Odyssey House, Reach, Life Education, The Katrina Dawson Foundation, Children’s Cancer Institute and Go Foundation. A portion of the funds raised will also be donated to Mirabel Foundation and National Aboriginal Sporting Chance Academy (NASCA).

Shaw and Partners retiring Head of Equites, Mike Ryan, who has led the initiative since its inception in 2016 said, “The Shaw and Partners Foundation is thrilled to be able to provide a vehicle through which we can continue to support the Australian Fund Managers Foundation and its charities in an ongoing capacity. The money raised from our annual Insto Day will afford the beneficiary charities with the opportunity to achieve their sustainable development goals, allowing their various successful projects to be upscaled more rapidly.”

Mike, along with Shaw and Partners incoming Head of Equities, Anthony Wilson, extend an enormous thank you to Shaw and Partners’ institutional clients for their unwavering support over the past six years.

Shaw and Partners remains committed to its engaged approach to philanthropy focussing on providing support to Australian charities across areas of mental health, education and a social inclusion that have little access to government funding.

Since its inception in 2015, Shaw and Partners Foundation has donated over $6 million to over 130 charities.  For more information please visit https://www.shawandpartners.com.au/community/shaw-and-partners-foundation.
