Details at: http://acmefoundation.org.au/. ACME Foundation selects the charities it gives to. The Wicks are spending down their fund. Jeff and Julie Wicks are directors of the ACME Foundation, a Private Ancillary Fund established 15 years ago prioritising the issue of social justice. At the time they were living overseas, and their focus was developmental aid in the low-income world, with women and girls a priority. Over time, and particularly since relocating to Australia 10 years ago, they have become increasingly aware and concerned about the climate emergency. They now regard climate justice as the most pressing social justice issue of our time and direct most of the foundation's annual grants towards that issue.
