Building a better future for inner north communities

• We are dedicated solely to the inner north of Melbourne
• Community owned and managed for 17 years, we manage a “future fund” of $12 million to fund community projects
• We take donations, invest and manage them and work with local people to distribute the income earned to local community organisations
• Since 2007, some $6.2 million has been distributed to 250 local community organisations.

We are from this place and for this place

• From Brunswick to Bundoora, from Richmond to Reservoir and from Cremorne to Coburg
• Around 500,000 people, 45,000 businesses and 900 community organisations
• Three local government municipalities, and eight state and three federal electorates
• Home to some of Melbourne’s wealthiest and poorest people

Connecting those who care with those who can

• We connect local donors with effective local community organisations
• We monitor areas of greatest need and the progress being made by local community organisations
• Always working through community partnership and dialogue
• Funding work across the inner north

Collaboratively, we focus on:

• Environment
• Employment

• Homelessness
• Health and wellbeing

Providing pathways to philanthropy for all, no matter how big or how small.
