Bank of Cyprus Australia Foundation

Since it was established, the Bank of Cyprus Australia Foundation has been very successful in raising funds for deserving causes. Each year, the Foundation supports a charity partner by covering the expenses involved in holding a major gala event. All proceeds from tickets and other fundraising initiatives go straight to the charity partner.

• In 2010, $103,000 was raised for the Australian Greek Welfare Society. This money goes directly into the charity’s many programs ranging from health and wellbeing programs for the elderly, to providing emergency support and counselling services to disadvantaged youth and families.
• In 2009, $100,000 was raised for Agapi Care at an event starring Yiannis Ploutarhos, one of Greece’s most philanthropic artists, and including local entertainment. Over 150 people attended. Agapi Care provides a variety of services to people with disabilities from facilities located in Preston and Oakleigh.
