Together with our partners and sister entities – Crescent Wealth Super, Crescent Finance and Crescent Institute, we invest collective networks, resources and funds to mobilise support from a wider group of entities and individuals, towards projects and initiatives that have a catalysing impact on their target segment.
Crescent Foundation distributes all monies and donations received to our partners who are Australian registered charities and hold Deductible Gift Recipient status.
We support catalytic initiatives in our four areas of focus.
Education & Refugees
With the increasing rate of refugees re-settling in Australia, we seek out catalytic initiatives that can open up opportunities for refugees.
Helping the Homeless
We are committed to helping the homeless and destitute across Australia break their cycle of misfortune and open their lives up to better opportunities.
Conservation of Islamic Art & Culture
With art and culture being a precursor towards dialogue and discourse, we seek out catalytic initiatives that open opportunities to present and preserve Islamic art and culture in Australian society.
Civics, Youth and Democracy
With civic engagement, youth leadership and democratic values as being inherent features of our Australian identity, we seek to support catalytic initiatives that can open opportunities for our youth to participate more effectively in our governing systems.
Our Approach
Our approach to giving is simple: we seek to multiply your contribution by catalysing the powerful networks and resources at our disposal and challenging our partners to deliver unconventional means to solving for our focus areas. Beyond that, 100% of the contributions you make flow through to our recipients.
We do not deduct any fees or monies from your contributions, allowing us to provide maximum impact to our recipients and their families.
