Community

Local Tamariki Benefit From CLM Support

 
Eight local charities which help Bay of Plenty youth to survive and thrive will collectively receive $4000 this year from Cooney Lees Morgan.
 
The grants have come from the Cooney Lees Morgan Endowment Fund which we set up in 2016 through the Acorn Foundation to support worthy community causes. Each year the proceeds from our firm’s mufti days, raffles and other fundraising activities are invested in this fund. CLM Partners also make sizeable annual donations in lieu of client Christmas gifts and over time this fund has grown to a substantial size.
 
We’re thrilled to announce the recipients of this year’s Endowment Fund distributions. Read on to see which charities our staff have chosen to support this year.
