New CBRE/ISPT charitable fund announces more than $200,000 in donations

Two Good Co. and Women’s Property Initiatives (WPI) will each receive over $100,000 as the first recipients of a joint venture charitable fund established by CBRE and ISPT.

The Together for Place fund was launched last year as part of ISPT’s Australia-wide property management partnership with CBRE.

It will support four charities this year, with the next two recipients to be announced in the coming months.

Phil Rowland, CBRE’s Advisory Services CEO, Australia & New Zealand, noted, “The property sector can be an engine for equitable outcomes in the places we shape. That’s why we established Together for Place to support projects and outcomes for those who need it the most, in the communities where ISPT and CBRE have a presence.”

Two Good Co. supports, empowers and employs women with lived experience of homelessness, domestic violence and complex trauma, creating opportunities for women to change their life and rebuild their self-worth and independence.

WPI is a not for profit, community housing provider, which creates new beginnings for women and children at risk of homelessness by providing permanent and affordable homes, access to support and ongoing advocacy.

Chris Chapple, IFM Investor’s Global Head of Real Estate*said the Together for Place fund recipients aligned with ISPT’s commitment to social impact activities.

“We have an intrinsic focus on supporting community and connection, and we are proud to be working alongside CBRE to support inspiring enterprises like Two Good Co and WPI, both of which do incredible work to support women experiencing homelessness and domestic violence,” said Chris.

Together for Place was established following CBRE’s 2024 appointment to manage more than 120 wholly owned ISPT assets in six Australian states and territories.

A key focus has been leveraging CBRE’s extensive track record in investor portfolio partnerships to add value to ISPT’s national portfolio through innovative approaches to all aspects of property management.
