Announcing the 2023 Queensland Environmental Philanthropist of the Year
By James Goodman
We are delighted to celebrate Bob McCosker as the 2023 Queensland Environmental Philanthropist of the Year for his amazing work building and funding a sea turtle rescue centre on Quoin Island.
In 2022, Goodman Private Wealth collaborated with the Queensland Community Foundation (QCF) to launch their first cause-based award which celebrates an outstanding Queensland individual, family, or family foundation with a proven record of exceptional environmental philanthropy endeavours. Bob McCosker follows in the footsteps of the inaugural award winner — the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors and the late Steve Irwin. You can learn more about Bob's work and what receiving the award means for him here.
We also celebrate the extraordinary efforts of QCF and all the 2023 Philanthropists of the Year, nominees and finalists, and encourage you to read about their outstanding and inspiring contributions to the Queensland community here.

At Goodmans, we have an enduring commitment to promoting and growing philanthropy in South-East Queensland.
