Making a difference to tomorrow
Making a difference to tomorrow
The concept of giving back is incredibly important to Eastcourt as a family business built over three generations
Today, the charitable arm of our organisation is undertaken through the Eastcourt Foundation.
The Foundation promotes our philosophy of building philanthropic partnerships that bring sustained benefits in the areas of community, arts and culture, social enterprise and research.
The Eastcourt Foundation builds upon the legacy of community giving and social responsibility that was established by Arthur and Miep Oosterhof fifty years ago.
Spotlight on some of our recent key partnerships:
Women and Infants Research Foundation
A $270,000 donation over three years to support the Predict 1000 Study. Examining the link between preterm birth and bacterial signatures, the study is being heralded as a breakthrough in pregnancy care. It is anticipated it will reduce the rate of preventable pre-term birth by 20%.
Blood Cancer Research WA (via Snowdome Foundation)
A $340,000 donation over three years to further Lymphoma research in Western Australia, giving patients with blood cancers access to new and potentially life-saving treatments, not only faster, but without having to leave Perth. Our support is also helping the research program attract leading minds from around the world.
Trillion Trees
Eastcourt is also making a difference through Eastcourt Living’s partnership with Trillion Trees, a not-for-profit committed to planting trees as a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Each time we sell a block of land at one of our Eastcourt Living residential estates, we make a $100 donation to Trillion Trees.
Our donations have ensured that new trees are consistently planted in groves, parks and forests across WA to contribute to a more sustainable environment for the future.
Homes for Homes
Eastcourt is a major partner of Homes for Homes, an initiative by The Big Issue Australia.
Homes for Homes is a game-changing first of its kind social enterprise that raises funds for social and affordable housing through a simple promise – that when a home sells, 0.1% of the sale price will be donated, helping the not-for-profit build social and affordable homes for those in need.
Housing for older women, Aboriginal housing and low-cost accommodation are some of the important projects already completed by Homes for Homes across the country.
Eastcourt makes a voluntary donation from sales at our residential developments, Florida Beach in Mandurah and Providence Estate in Wellard. Importantly, the money raised through WA-based Homes for Homes partnerships stay in the State which means new local homelessness projects will be able to get off the ground sooner.
