What an incredible weekend at the SCG! The QBE Foundation hosted its annual Goals for Good event during the thrilling AFL clash between the Sydney Swans and Fremantle Dockers. We're excited to share that we donated $75,000 for our community partners and the Sydney Swans Foundation!
For each of the 14 goals scored by the Swans, we pledged $3,000, and thanks to the team's stellar performance, we rounded up the donation to $75,000. This contribution will make a significant impact, supporting various community initiatives and through the Sydney Swans Foundation.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event!

What a tight game! So pleased to have been able to spend time with our community partners while watching a bit of footy together. It was truly wonderful to hear from each of these incredible causes during half time and even better that QBE Foundation could raise funds on the day to go towards supporting our partners. #Together

Thanks to the team at QBE Insurance for your ongoing support of our Stars students and the mentoring and empowerment of First Nations girls and young women across Australia.
Thank you so much for having me and the Social Impact Hub along to the game! It was such a fun afternoon spending time with so many great partners of the QBE Foundation (and the tight game just added to the excitement!)
Such an incredible milestone...
Over the past 8 years, I've spent most of my time on initiatives that reduce the cost of financial advice and services so more people can access them. This is a 💯 example of how software is making that a reality.
It's also why we've built Estately specifically for financial advisors and their clients right on top of the most used estate planning software in the US.

I focus on authenticity, empowerment, the origins and consequences of trauma and abuse, manipulation, and healing from the many challenging personal lived experiences that have shaped me. Founder of Wanderer's Way.
I'm curious about the terms of the Decult Charitable Trust, including details like the non-charitable income beneficiaries, the duration of the trust before its funds are released to a fully formed nonprofit organization, the specific charity or nonprofit it benefits, and the percentage of the trust’s annual income paid as taxable income to non-charitable beneficiaries, if any. Given the prevalence of fraud in the nonprofit sector, I prioritize supporting causes that demonstrate integrity and transparency, managed by well-intentioned individuals.
Wanderer’s Way established a trust, but a US Charitable Remainder Trust in October 2023. Though this allows for a tax deduction for donors, it differs from direct donations to a charitable organization. To avoid misleading anyone about how their contributions are managed, I have not publicized the Wanderer’s Way CRT. Most Charitable Remainder Trusts reserve donations for a nonprofit for 20 years, delaying the nonprofit's access to these funds while 5%-50% of the annual income earned from the investment of the assets donated to a Charitable Remainder Trust are distributed out to the non-charitale income beneficiaries named in the trust as ordinary and taxable income during the 20 years the Charitable Remainder Trust is in effect.
If the assets donated to a Charitable Remainder Trust are well-invested, it is the non-charitable income beneficiaries who will benefit from the trust's earnings over its typical 20-year term. This is why proper donor education, governance, independant third-party oversight, and records transparency are crucial.
I fully support Decult’s mission and purpose but advocate for rigorous third-party oversight. My inquiry is not meant to undermine your efforts; I recognize the challenges faced by those working to address the world’s most egregious wrongs. I'm committed to charitable oversight and transparency, having seen abuses of charitable tax laws. My aim is to support organizations and professionals that tackle trauma, abuse, mental health, and anti-cult/anti-coercion issues ethically and compassionately.
I'm equally dedicated to protecting charity's sanctity as I am to aiding global healing from trauma and abuse. Wanderer’s Way is committed to governance, oversight, and transparency, ensuring our dedication to our cause and the public's understanding of our operations and resource use.
To me, charity is a Heavenly grace, one that I am fully dedicated and determined to protect with the upmost integrity.
Could you please provide full access to the trust document and all amendments? Making these documents public would be a reasonable step towards fostering trust and transparency, aligning with the trust's purpose and the confidence you aim to instill in your supporters and the broader community.
Once more, I remain unwaveringly dedicated and fully supportive of Decult’s mission and purpose. My goal is to foster equally strong confidence in its leadership.
