KWM’s philanthropy is formalised through DigDeep®, our workplace giving project. KWM partners and staff donate money directly from their pay to selected Community Partners. KWM matches donations dollar for dollar, doubling the financial contributions received by our Community Partners. DigDeep® also houses our focussed fundraising campaigns such as KWMcrowd, KWMappeal and KWM Final Hour Appeal.
Through the combined giving of the firm and staff we have donated more than AUD11.5 million since the program started in 2002.
