JONATHAN WEBBER
“IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR ME TO SHIFT OUR FOCUS TO A PLACE OF CARE RATHER THAN GREED – THE MOST IMPORTANT HERITAGE AND LEGACY WE ARE LEAVING BEHIND”
Jonathan Webber founded the JW Foundation with a clear mission: to support individuals and communities affected by issues deeply personal to him and his wider network. Over the past two decades, Jonathan has played a pivotal role in the development and construction of more than $3 billion worth of property across Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania, contributing to the creation of thousands of homes. Jonathan is deeply committed to championing causes close to his heart, including family and domestic violence, homelessness, and youth development in disadvantaged communities.
Officially launching in 2024 with its inaugural event, Beyond the Veil.
