About the organisation
ABOUT US
We’re an independent, charitable foundation working with hundreds of everyday philanthropists to address social issues and create positive, community-led change.
We connect those who can give with those driving positive change. We are currently home to more than 350 sub-funds, led by families, individuals, groups and organisations from across Australia.
Founded in 1997, we have since grown into one of Australia’s largest community foundations with a unique national focus. Each year, we disburse more than 900 grants totalling roughly $12.5 million.
At ACF, we foster a supportive, collaborative, and flexible team environment. You will have the opportunity to be involved in projects that make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. We are an organisation built on strong values: inclusion, agency, courage and fairness. We believe in a fairer Australia – one where social, environmental and cultural justice is the norm, and you should, too.
