The AFR's Philanthropy 50 List

Exclusively created and complied by JBWere

Top 50 Philanthropy List for 2020-21

JBWere has compiled the Financial Review Philanthropy 50 List exclusively for the AFR since 2017. 

This year’s Top 3 givers of single donations

  1. $143.1m – Paul Ramsay Foundation
  2. $110m – Minderoo Foundation
  3. $104m – Yajilarra Trust

 

Latest findings show:

  • Giving by the Top 50 was $942m for the year to June 30, 2021
  • $4.4m is the minimum donation needed to make the Philanthropy 50 list (slightly higher than last year’s $4m)
  • 5 large bequests made this year’s list
  • Universities continue to do well in generating support from this group of givers

2021 Top 10 List

$12B in charitable assets

JBWere’s Philanthropic Services team manages $12B in charitable assets across Australia and New Zealand. 

"The really pleasing aspect of the past two years has been how both large-scale private and corporate giving has stepped up, firstly during bushfires and then COVID-19.

The doubling in giving since our first list six years ago and the 13 new names this year, including five large bequests, shows the growing spread of philanthropy and hints at the potential for much more.”

– John McLeod, Philanthropy Senior Research Consultant, JBWere
