We come together to help, in the short-term and the long-term. Community organisations often have both shortterm and long-term needs. Short-term needs may be satisfied with cash grants – long-term needs often require more than that. The Macquarie Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Macquarie Group, addresses both. Since its inception in 1985, the Macquarie Group Foundation together with Macquarie staff have given more than $US200 million dollars to community organisations around the world. These funds are used in diverse ways. In Hong Kong, our staff support Po Leung Kuk through donations
and fundraising (matched by the Macquarie Group Foundation) and volunteering in our mentoring program (pictured). The Macquarie Group Foundation also supports Po Leung Kuk with a three year grant from 2012 for its Sports Program. In addition, Macquarie is committed to supporting Po Leung Kuk and the Foreign Correspondent Club Charity Fund scholarship program. We are proud to highlight the hundreds of Macquarie staff who donate thousands of hours of support to notfor-profit organisations, acting as volunteers, advisers and members of boards and management committees in every country in which Macquarie Group operates.

GONET-MEDEVILLE CHâTEAU GILETTE
Château Gilette is situated in the centre of the village of Preignac. The vines are surrounded by walls which protect them from the prevailing winds and facilitate the mist so necessary for the formation of botrytis cinerea. The 15 to 20 regular harvesters from the estate have the delicate mission only to pick perfectly desiccated grapes. The long vat-ageing of 15 to 18 years then begins. This will generate slow ageing which will allows the wine to develop the richness, volume and intensity of a mature wine without being oxidized.
