With a vision to secure his family’s future, Bernard invested in commercial properties, laying the foundation for a legacy built on growth and generosity. Three generations later, Banna Property Group remains committed to expanding this vision—not only shaping our family’s future but also enriching the communities we serve.Our dedication to philanthropy stems from Bernard Chan, whose early contributions set the stage for our ongoing charitable efforts. His belief that success should be shared continues to inspire us as we champion community support and drive meaningful change.
For us, property management is more than just business—it’s about making a lasting impact where it matters most. Banna donates 100% of our shopping centre casual leasing income to charity through the Banna Foundation. Every dollar goes towards meaningful initiatives that support those in need- turning our success into a force for good in the communities we serve.
The Banna Foundation was established in 2015 to honour Bernard and Anna Chan’s legacy of generosity and financial giving.
It serves as a way to give back to society while celebrating the Chan family’s achievements,ensuring that each generation embraces philanthropy as a core value. Through its work, the foundation fosters a lasting culture of compassion, unity, and collective impact.
Bernard and Anna Chan believed in the power of education, a value the Banna Foundation proudly upholds. That’s why it supports A Start in Life, an Australian charity that has been helping young Australians overcome disadvantage since 1923. For over 100 years, the charity has provided essential support to over 7,000 students, ensuring they have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The Banna Foundation is proud to support the UTS Humanitarian Scholarship program, ensuring that 100% of its contribution goes directly to students. With UTS covering all administrative costs and waiving over $5 million in tuition fees for scholars, the Foundation’s support helps open doors to life-changing educational opportunities for those who need it most.
Most recently, the Foundation also established a new scholarship at UTS — the Ali Chan Scholarship, which supports a student within the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building. The scholarship honours Brad’s late father's contribution to the family business and his passion for property .
ANHF strives to be the model provider of culturally appropriate residential and community aged care in Australia, ensuring seniors receive support that respects their heritage, language, and traditions. Through this partnership, the foundation helps enhance the quality of life for ageing community members, providing them with dignity, comfort, and a strong sense of belonging.
