The AET Foundation is a public ancillary fund in which you can set up an account. It is an ideal structure if you want to focus on your giving without the distractions of the time‑consuming compliance, administration and investment management issues associated with running a stand‑alone foundation.

The AET Foundation is appropriate if you:

• want to establish a long-term, tax-effective charitable program
• have a minimum of $50,000 to start your giving program
• don’t want to manage the administration, compliance and investments associated with your account
• want the pleasure of seeing the effect of your philanthropy
• want to involve family members and future generations in your philanthropic vision.

How we can help you

We will establish your account with the AET Foundation and AET PAF Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of AET) will act as trustee. AET will act as your investment adviser, enabling you and your successors to focus on the most rewarding part of philanthropy – making grants to eligible charities you wish to support.
