The Slater and Gordon Community Fund was set up by the firm to offer philanthropic support to individuals and groups for community projects across Australia.
There’s a sense of pride that comes out of our staff contributing funds from their pay. These contributions help make a positive difference in people’s lives.
I’m pleased to share the latest round of grants recently approved. More than $20,000 has been distributed.
