Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation

Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation is the heart of community giving in Greater Melbourne.

Since 1923, over a century of generous donors has seen the Foundation grow to become Australia’s largest independent community foundation, working to create a more equitable, inclusive and climate-resilient future for all.

Last financial year, close to $13 million in grants were made supporting innovative, replicable solutions to social issues across four Impact Areas: Homelessness & Affordable Housing; Inclusive, Sustainable Economy & Jobs; Healthy & Climate Resilient Communities; and, Generous Melbourne.
