Our Foundation at a glance

The Geelong Community Foundation was established in 2000.  It was created as a permanent donor’s fund, increasing
over time. At the same time, grants would be paid to the community from the fund’s earnings – this also in perpetuity.

The Foundation is one of the first community foundations established in Australia and now one of the top three in terms
of funds held and grants paid.

It is 100% not for profit with administration costs kept to a minimum to ensure maximum support is delivered to the
community. It is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors with a broad range of skills and community experience.
