About the organisation
The Adara Group has two quite different parts, but one united purpose – to support people in poverty. The first part is an international development organisation spanning six countries, called Adara Development. The second part is two Australia-based corporate advisory businesses, Adara Advisors and Adara Partners.
Adara Development has expertise in maternal, newborn and child health, and remote community development, reaching tens of thousands of people in poverty each year.
The Adara businesses exist for the sole purpose of generating profits to directly fund Adara’s not-for-profit arm, Adara Development. Adara Partners uses a unique Panel Member structure, bringing together some of Australia’s most senior leaders in financial services. Adara Panel Members provide wise counsel and senior advice to our clients, with their time, effort and expertise donated to Adara.
