Wealthy urged to step up philanthropy - National News - National - General - The Canberra Times

Wealthy urged to step up philanthropy - National News - National - General - The Canberra Times: "Some of Australia's wealthiest families, including the Myers, are calling on other well-off people to put more of their riches into philanthropy.

The Myers (retail), the Potters (finance and invest banking), and the Poola Foundation (part of the extended Murdoch family) are leading a new trend in philanthropy that fuses indigenous cultural heritage with environmental conservation through the Environmental Grantmakers Network. And they want Australia's growing ranks of largely ungiving millionaires to join them."
