Board Member – Wyndham Community Cultural Foundation

The Wyndham Community Cultural Foundation (WCCF) is a not-for-profit community organisation and endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient. It was established by a Deed of Trust in 1999.

As a result of a community fundraising campaign in 1999, WCCF contributed funds towards construction and fit out of the Wyndham Cultural Centre. It also established a Community Cultural Trust Fund for ongoing development, enhancement and promotion of arts and culture within the City of Wyndham.

The board manages a significant investment portfolio and distributes proceeds in accordance with a budgeted funding cycle – currently twice a year.

A Cultural Advisory Panel has been appointed to process applications and, if eligible, makes funding recommendations to the board.

Now, WCCF intends to increase awareness of its objectives and raise the profile of its grant programs, as follows:

• Collaborative Projects
• Individual Grants
• Significant Acquisitions

Expressions of interest are sought from community members to join the board and assist in its aims of:
