Community Support

The team at Alman Partners hold very strong values which translate into the culture of our firm. One of these values is to give back to the community in a significant and lasting way.

In 2003, Alman Partners’ founder Scott Alman, had the vision to create a community-owned foundation with the aim to continually grow a base of investment funds that would provide a permanent and growing source of funding to those in need in our community. So, the Mackay Community Foundation was born. The Mission Statement – ‘Give Where You Live.’​ As of 31^st January 2022, the Mackay Community Foundation holds $3 million in the corpus with all income distributed to specific areas of need in our community.

In addition to providing support for the Mackay Community Foundation, Alman Partners and our team are committed to supporting our local community wherever possible. We endeavour to cover a range of initiatives including the arts, youth education and sport.

• Supporter of the Mayors Charity Ball 2019

• Major supporter of Whitsunday Voices Youth Literature Festival 2005-2010
