Car and cities don't mix

Cars are wonderful things if you keep them in the garage and polish them on Sundays with a glass of beer in one hand and a small rag in the other. My dad used to do that. On the other hand if you drive cars around, you are liable to get into all sorts of trouble. For instance, I went to... Full Story

National Community Foundation

The National Community Foundation was established for Victorian based organisations who want to partner with their staff, stakeholders and communities wherever they are within Australia, and build an endowment fund to support an on-going charitable giving program. The National Community Foundation is a national, not-for-profit fund, part of a number of funds operated and managed by the Melbourne Community Foundation (MCF). We bring people and organisations together to create a perpetual source of locally held funds (a permanent endowment) as well as a body of knowledge about community issues and needs.

Melbourne Community Foundation

The Melbourne Community Foundation aims to generate and distribute philanthropic resources to address emerging social issues and to meet the needs of its communities. Established in 1997, Melbourne Community Foundation was the first independent, not-for-profit community foundation in Australia. As a community based endowment fund, all donations are pooled and invested to generate income to help build social capital. MCF offers individuals, families, groups, corporations and charitable organisations an easier and more satisfying way of giving something of real value back to the community.
