Our Financials

Financials 2026

The Foundation ended the 2025/26 financial year with net assets of approximately $147m which means, that since 2016/17, the Foundation has been able to grow equity by around $60 million or 69%. This growth underpins the Foundation’s ability to expand and evolve our giving and engagement strategies as we enter our new strategic planning cycle.

The 2025/26 financial year saw the Foundation report a small deficit of $0.18m after supporting ongoing giving and engagement programs which are at the centre of our mission. The result includes a $4.95m non-cash reduction in the assessed value of the North Ryde investment property held by the Foundation.

The Foundation’s investments in property and tradable instruments continue to underpin its financial capacity. During the year the Foundation was able to distribute approximately $1.4 million through grants, scholarships, research and community development in support of our mission.

Having repaid all outstanding borrowings in 2024/25, the Foundation maintained its debt-free position throughout 2025/26 and has a well-established financial platform to underpin the ongoing delivering of the Foundation’s mission.
