ACP exists to help grow community philanthropy in Australia. We do this by representing and advocating for the sector, raising awareness about its importance and impact and through support and capacity building for community foundations.

Community philanthropy is about engaged citizenship and the empowerment of local communities. It starts from the premise that philanthropy is for everyone and that all communities have assets – skills, knowledge, networks and money. When people pool their assets to take action on issues that matter to them, they become co-investors with a personal stake in the projects they support. In the process, they build community power and voice.

ACP is a network for community philanthropy organisations, notably Australia’s Community Foundations that want to work together to build sector capacity and strengthen our profile, reach and impact. Together we are more visible and stronger.
