Fourteen Australian charities have been given grants by The Harcourts Foundation, the charitable arm of Harcourts Group Australia, during its most recent funding round.

In total, $51,740 was donated across Australia to benefit various charities that cover a wide range of causes.

The Harcourts Foundation coordinator, Julia Eyles, said that the latest group was a demonstration of charities that were important to Harcourts employees.

“This quarter’s group of 14 charities represents a cross-section of causes supported by Harcourts franchisees and team members,” she said.

In total, $51,740 was donated across Australia to benefits various charities that cover a wide range of causes.

Most of the donations come from Harcourts branches that contribute a set donation with every property sale.

The franchise owners in each state then have the opportunity to nominate and support the organisations that impact the community.

In the latest round the largest single grant was for $6000 which went to Kevin Heinze GROW (Vic), a group that works with children and adults to provide, enhance and promote the benefits of horticulture-based therapy.
