Ord Minnett & E.L. & C. Baillieu Charities Fund

COMMUNITY & CHARITY

Warwick Smith, Chair and Karl Morris, CEO are pleased to announce that Ord Minnett will be forming a new charitable fund – the Ord Minnett + E.L.& C. Baillieu Charities Fund, which will be overseen by a new Charitable Giving Committee.


This fund is being established by expanding the existing E.L. & C. Baillieu Charities Fund to include Ord Minnett. It will enable Board, staff, advisors, clients and colleagues to make tax deductible donations to and fundraise for a yet to be determined small group of organisations. The organisations supported by the Charities Fund will be determined through a detailed staff survey and due diligence process, that will enable all staff at Ord Minnett to have an opportunity to put forward charities to be considered. 


Members of the Ord Minnett + E.L.& C. Baillieu Charities Fund Committee are:

  • Warwick Smith AO, Chairman
  • Karl Morris AO, CEO
  • Michael Arthur, Sydney
  • Lonni Aylett, Sydney
  • Hamish Bonifant, Queensland
  • Kevin Cairns, Queensland
  • Charlie Heerey, Melbourne
  • Vera Lin, Sydney
  • Alison Perrott, Adelaide
  • Malcolm Wood, Sydney
  • Julie White, External Adviser

The committee will be responsible for working with staff to determine areas of interest and organisations to be supported alongside stewardship of the funds and encouraging staff to make contributions to and fundraise for the Charities Fund in the coming years. More details on the Committee and its purpose will be available on this page.


The Ord Minnett + E.L. & C. Baillieu Charities Fund will commence with $137,000 in funds from the initial establishment of the E.L & C. Baillieu Charities Fund. This amount will be immediately bolstered by a contribution of $50,000 each from Ord Minnett, the Chairman, Hon. Warwick Smith AO, CEO, Karl Morris AO, major shareholder, Bruce Mathieson and the inaugural Charities Fund Committee. This will bring the total to $387,000 which is a fantastic base on which to grow, through staff support, a generous pot of money to be distributed to our selected causes in 2022/23.


All staff will be asked to do a short survey which will help in selecting areas of interest and organisations to be supported, including ways in which staff will be able to make their own personal contributions to the Charities Fund.
