Vision

“To build a permanent resource to meet the new and emerging needs of the communities in which the Foundation operates. This resource will, through an evidence based approach, build the social capital of those communities to bring about positive long term sustainable change.”

The Foundation aims:

• To be recognised as a significant resource and a permanent part of the community philanthropy landscape.
• To be recognised for our focus on the community; for our highly effective grantmaking; for initiating major, focused, sustainable projects; and for our collaborative and partnership approach.
• To be recognised by our donors for our leadership in accessible philanthropy, high donor engagement, efficient donor wealth management, responsiveness and community expertise.
• To be recognised generally for our ethical, effective investing; our research, insights and knowledge-sharing; our relevant and accessible products and services; our dynamic, well-structured Board and organisation; and as a trusted business partner, grounded in the community.
