CMV FOUNDATION


TREES FOR LIFE - NEW PREMISES OPENING MARCH 2007

Project Background
The Trustees of the CMV Foundation are delighted to announce that they have made the largest donation in the Foundation’s history to a single cause. Recognising that the entire world desperately needs to do a better job looking after our natural environment, they targeted an environmental organisation, Trees For Life, as the
recipient.

The Trees For Life organisation was founded 25 years ago in South Australia, and today boasts a membership of nearly 10,000 members and has been responsible for planting in excess of 28 million trees. Trees For Life, was facing an uncertain future as they were about to lose their office accommodation area and propagating facilities. The Trustees began discussions with their Management to explore how they could help them find a new home of their own to ensure their long term survival and growth to the benefit of the entire community. The next chapter in the Trees For Life story was a very happy one, when on the 30th June 2006 they took possession of their new home. The Foundation’s contribution towards the outright purchase of this very suitable property, was the catalyst to make it happen.

CMV STAFF FOUNDATION

In similar spirit to the CMV Foundation, the employees of the CMV Group have established a foundation of their own. The CMV Staff Charitable Foundation is funded by voluntary contributions from staff, which are then matched dollar for dollar by the CMV Foundation. These funds are then distributed to charities that are registered deductable gift recipients as per the Foundation Charter.

CMV FOUNDATION

The CMV Foundation is a charitable trust deriving funding from Commercial Motor Vehicles Pty Ltd which in turn earns its income from operations.

The CMV Foundation's charter is to make donations to worthy causes in the broader community. Since its formation in 1953 by the late Sidney Crawford, the founder of the company, substantial funds have been chanelled back into the community with the primary aim to assist less fortunate members.

CMV Foundation support is also extended to associations or individuals for purposes that are in accordance with the Foundation's Charter. Preference is given to local entities where the benefit to the local community is maximised.
