Place-Based Philanthropy

Nurturing Lasting Change in Liverpool

Our place-based philanthropy was initiated with funding from the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation through a grant made in March 2013. Sydney Community Foundation was then able to secure a challenge grant of $500,000 from the NSW Department of Family and Community Services in 2013. Sydney Community Foundation quickly matched the grant by drawing together philanthropic partners eager to collaborate.

The following is a list of projects carried out as a result of the Place-based Funding project in Warwick Farm and Heckenberg.
