Key Points:
We like celebrating milestones at Clayton Utz – and the fifth anniversary of our Community Connect program was certainly cause for celebration.
Events were held in CU offices around the country to mark the occasion and to say "thank you" to staff for their support. Some of our valued community partners also took part in the celebrations, sharing with staff stories of the work they do and how the program contributes.
Community Connect is an important part of who we are at Clayton Utz. It embraces a range of activities, including staff volunteering for our community partners, holding fundraising events to support a range of charities – and of course, the Clayton Utz Foundation.
Last financial year, the Foundation committed over one million dollars in 48 grants to 42 charities. In five years, it has committed over $2.5 million in grants.
