    At Seeley International, we believe in the importance of helping others.

    Our company Founder and Executive Chairman, Frank Seeley AM, DUniv Flin, FAICD, and his wife, Kathy (who is also a director of the company), have a long history of giving back to the community.

    Seeley International proudly supports a broad range of worthy local, Australian and international organisations, charities and events.

    The Everglades Fund

    The Everglades Fund was established by Frank Seeley AM, DUniv Flin, FAICD to support those people and groups who need assistance.

    First established by Frank Seeley, the Everglades Fund now supports more than 50 organisations that span the Arts, community, health, children, church and missionary work.

    When the Seeley International team meets with its extensive dealer network for an annual conference a $10 aptly-named bottle of Braemar scotch becomes the centrepiece of fundraising efforts, with the Everglades funding typically it matches more than just the winning bid.

    Since it was first auctioned in 2001, this unopened bottle has now raised more than $2.35m, with monies generally divided between a charity that supports Australian children and an initiative that helps children in the country that hosts the annual conference.

    Major sponsorships and recently supported organisations include:

    Variety the Children’s Charity

    Seeley International is proud to be the Major National Partner for Variety Bash motoring events across Australia.

    Seeley International is pleased that the Australia children’s charity of choice is currently Variety – the Children’s Charity, and we are a Major National partner of the iconic Variety Bash motoring events held across the country. The national not-for-profit organisation is committed to supporting Australian children who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs to LIVE, LAUGH & LEARN. Variety has been helping kids be kids for over 40 years by providing practical equipment & experiences through Variety programs, and raising money through events such as the Variety Bash in each state, to help Australian children in need overcome whatever obstacles they face to live life to the fullest!

    More about Variety – the Children’s Charity can be found at the Variety Children’s Charity website.

    Significant contribution to a range of other charity and community organisations

    Over the years, the Everglades Fund has made significant contributions to a range of other charities and community organisations, including:

    Seeley International Foundation

    In 2018, the company Founder and Executive Chairman, Frank Seeley AM, DUniv Flin, FAICD, and his wife, Kathy were pleased to announce that the Seeley International Foundation will support a number of very worthy initiatives above and beyond our already significant charity and community support activity.
