Start your fund

A Named Fund enables donors to give for a particular purpose. From homelessness in Richmond, to disability and the arts – Named Funds at the Inner North Community Foundation are having impact now, and into the future.

A Named Fund is a perpetual investment that is protected and preserved, and as it grows over time the interest earned goes back into the community every year. Establishing a Named Fund is one way to ensure local community organisations and charities thrive for years to come.

Join the many families, individuals, business groups and community organisations who have set up Named Funds to demonstrate their support for the inner north.
Your giving can have real, long-term benefit. Now and forever.
Community Foundations Australia has developed a fund calculator to help demonstrate the impact of the community foundation model. You can adjust the initial fund size, annual distribution and average return (and even add a separate annual contribution amount) to model different scenarios 'in real time'. Note: this is not financial advice, and is for demonstration purposes only.
