ACP unites Community Foundations across Australia. We work together to build our sector’s capacity and to strengthen Community Foundations’ collective voice and impact.
Several ACP member Foundations operate in current bushfire zones. We are grateful that our colleagues in those areas are safe.

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.
