Start your philanthropic journey here and feel good about giving back to your community
A MyFund is like having your own philanthropic fund but without the fuss and expense.
MyFund is how you can give back to your community and, if you wish, get involved.
- A MyFund is a tax-deductible donation that is protected and preserved forever – nobody touches it.
- You choose what you want to support and how involved you want to be. You can always change your mind later.
- The interest earned by your fund goes back into the community as a grant to local charities.
- The charities use it for local projects to improve life in the inner north.
There are no establishment fees. All you need is …
- a NAME for your fund. Honour a family, a person, an idea or a cause you care about.
- a PURPOSE for the use of your funds.
- a DONATION to get started. This can come from you, your friends or colleagues and is tax-deductible.
- ONGOING GIVING to the fund. Once you reach $10,000, the interest earned can be granted to local charities.
- CHOOSE a specific organisation or cause to receive your grants – we can help.
We’ll provide:
- advice on how local issues are being addressed and how to best create change
- introductions to like-minded people and organisations
- compliance with all regulatory and governance requirements
- guidance on which charities and not-for-profits might interest you
- progress reporting on your fund with all your tax receipts.
There are hundreds of organisations and causes in the inner north your fund could support.
That’s it – you’re a philanthropist!
Start feeling good today and set up your MyFund and join all the others demonstrating their love of the inner north.

Fund your community group or club
For local community groups and clubs, a MyFund can engage your supporters, encouraging them to give in a meaningful and fulfilling way that will allow them to be part of lasting legacy.
Organisations don’t always have the capacity to manage an investment fund, so this can be a great way to build this capacity.
The Foundation provides practical resources and full support to ensure you can establish and grow a valuable fund.
