The CASS Foundation Limited (ABN 72 231 303 818) is a private philanthropic foundation created to support and promote the advancement of education, science and medicine, and research in those fields.
The Foundation evolved from the assets created by the former T K Schools Limited, which owned and operated Taylors College until 1998. These assets are now being used for the greater benefit of Australian society through its transformation to a philanthropic organisation able to award, sponsor or support grants, undertakings, research and development.
“CASS” is an acronym for “Contributing to Australian Scholarship and Science”, a purpose the Foundation considers a fitting use for the assets base created from the operation of T K Schools Limited.
The Directors believe the Foundation is opening up new and exciting avenues to assist Australian education, science and medicine and research in a manner consistent with the original spirit of T K Schools Limited. |
|
To advance its objectives the Foundation may support research, development or other projects through financial, in kind, or other assistance, either alone, or in conjunction with government or other public or private organisations.
The Foundation will support projects that demonstrate that the outcomes will provide a benefit to a significant section of the Australian community. Project work must be undertaken primarily in Australia. |
