14 International Communicator 2025 Supporting a cause that matters 1. Dignity - ending homelessness in Australia • The Foundation supports Dignity’s 1 Million Meals project, which aims to deliver 1 million meals of food relief to Australians in need. Raine & Horne team members regularly volunteer to prepare meals and prepare guest packs for people experiencing homelessness. • In recognition of this partnership, Dignity named one of its supported temporary accommodation properties Raine & Horne Foundation House. This property provides safe housing for people in Western Sydney. With 11 furnished, self-contained units, the House offers over 4000 nights of accommodation per year. 2. Rural Aid - Strengthening rural Australia • As a Silver Partner, the Raine & Horne Foundation hit $125,000 in donations to Rural Aid in 2025. Rural Aid provides support to farmers affected by droughts, bushfires, and floods. This support includes financial assistance, counselling, water and hay deliveries, and volunteer programs. • Over the past five years, Rural Aid has successfully raised and distributed $100 million, with more than 18,000 farmers registered to receive assistance. This partnership with Rural Aid builds on a $100,000 donation in 2022 to the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR) , further strengthening regional communities. 3. Raine Island: Great Barrier Reef Foundation – protecting the environment • The Raine & Horne Foundation provided a $100,000 donation to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation to help fund habitat restoration and research on endangered turtles and seabirds at Raine Island, one of the Reef’s most remote islands, located 620 kilometres north-west of Cairns. • Significantly, Raine Island was named by Captain Thomas Raine, the first European to set foot on the island after landing there as the skipper of the Surry in 1815. The buccaneering Captain Raine was the father of Tom Raine, co-founder of Raine & Horne. The Raine & Horne Foundation channels its funding and volunteering efforts into a select group of partner organisations that share its focus on community, environment, and humanitarian care. In October 2025, the Raine & Horne Foundation reached a major milestone, raising $1 million for causes supporting Australians in need, rural communities, environmental protection, and international humanitarian relief.
