The Mornington Peninsula Foundation operates as a place-based philanthropic organisation working with an ever-growing network of community, donor, business, and government partners to increase inclusion and access to community resources and opportunities.

Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula is well known as a popular holiday destination and place of affluence. The reality, however, is that there are several postcodes on the Peninsula where people experience some of the highest levels of socio-economic disadvantage in the state.
In response to this, the Mornington Peninsula Foundation (MPF) was established as a Public Benevolent Institution in 2017. MPF operates as a place-based philanthropic organisation working with an ever-growing network of community, donor, business, and government partners to increase inclusion and access to community resources and opportunities.
Since formation, MPF has raised over $10M from over 120 donor partners; from large established trusts to small family foundations, individuals, and businesses. The MPF running costs are covered by the George Hicks Foundation, so all other donations are paid out through our grants process.
Over the past six years, MPF has developed strong relationships with community partners in education, housing, and family support services.
Through the work in kinders, primary and secondary schools, education has become a focus because of the correlation between educational attainment, employment, wellbeing, and economic independence.
In 2022 MPF consolidated work in two main geographical areas, Western Port, and the Southern Peninsula, forming two clusters made up of community and education partners who focus on early years intervention, evidence-based teaching, and integrated family and wellbeing support.
The commitment of MPF community partners in these clusters is to work together, innovate and lead systems change. Their courage and vision to go against the status quo for the benefit of the children, young people and families is a feature of this work.
The key strategy within the schools is the adoption of the Science of Learning, an outcome of their work over the last four years to address low rates of oral language and literacy.
The Science of Learning uses empirical evidence from a wide range of sources over the last two decades in how people learn to better understand how to teach. It includes systematic synthetic phonics, direct, explicit instruction, assessment to mastery, and knowledge rich, structured curricula.
Within the Science of Learning is the Science of Reading, which is used in the early years to ensure all children have the foundational skills to ensure they are reading to learn by the end of year 2.
MPF education community partners are deeply committed to changing teaching practice through evidence-based training, which MPF is funding.
This is bottom-up systems change showing outstandingly positive early-stage outcomes. These include increased levels of oral language in children entering school, improved rates of literacy in students transitioning to secondary, increased attendance and engagement in learning in secondary, much decreased classroom disruption, enhanced teacher retention and school enrolments. As the schools and services build hubs of success MPF will look at spreading the work to other areas on the Peninsula as driven by those communities.

The Mornington Peninsula Foundation: a commitment to community partners

Back on the 11th of April 2021, Cyclone Seroja made landfall on the coastline of Western Australia as a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone, bringing heavy rain and hurricane-force wind gusts. The Shire of Northampton was hit hard. Located 465 km north of Perth on the edge of the wheat belt, the Shire encompasses tourist towns Kalbarri, Horrocks, Port Gregory and Northampton. The towns of Northampton (population 858) and Kalbarri (1557) copped the brunt of the cyclone, with 70 per cent of the towns’ buildings damaged or destroyed.
Two days after the cyclone, a small group of current and past AFL players from the Northampton region—led by former West Coast Eagle Andrew Lockyer—contacted the <a href="https://www.fremantlefoundation.org.au/">Fremantle Foundation</a> to discuss how they could provide immediate support and help their community rebuild for the future.
Fremantle Foundation has been supporting the Fremantle and broader WA community for over twelve years. When the cyclone hit Northampton, the Foundation was acutely aware of the dire situation residents faced. They organised a group Zoom meeting, and proposed the establishment of a fund that the entire community could contribute to in an efficient, tax-effective way to achieve their shared objectives. Fremantle Foundation also provided immediate approval for the group to use their Charities Collections License to raise funds, and guided the group on how collectively they could best distribute impactful grants.
Then just five days after the cyclone, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AFLRamsSupportFund/">AFL Rams Community Support Fund</a> was established, and they received their first donation three days later. Established to aid and support the community in this time of need, and to also improve the lives and build a stronger community for the future, the fund is now run by current and past AFL players from the Northampton region. AFL exports including Josh Kennedy, Patrick Cripps and Harry Taylor continue to support the project.
Fremantle Foundation and the group of volunteers have kept in close contact. The Foundation has supported them with updates on donations, granting, reports and providing assistance with applications and auspicing of grants. The fund has raised over $260,000.00 and distributed nearly $210,000.00 worth of grants back into Northampton and surrounding regions to continue to rebuild after the cyclone. The group has also held various activities and events to bring the community together, raise funds, strengthen relationships, and identify further areas of need.
Ultimately, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AFLRamsSupportFund">AFL Rams Community Support Fund</a> has helped boost community belonging and resilience by funding projects that have supported the physical and mental health of those affected in the Shire of Northampton. The success of this now ongoing initiative lays firmly in its origins: people looking after others in a time of need.

‘We consider our role within the community is to lead by example, fill gaps and support as many vulnerable community members as possible.’

The Albany Community Foundation in Western Australia is pioneering a new approach to supporting individuals and families who may have fallen on hard times. It’s an approach they would like to share with the sector to inspire conversation around a different giving model.
In 2021 the Foundation released a <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ab0bff37106995fe2eb385d/t/619c30cfa7a5ea5cda5ec6f3/1637626078242/ACF+Discussion+Paper.pdf">discussion paper</a> – ‘A Shared Approach to Supporting Individuals’ – that outlines an opportunity for the Community Foundation sector to better support individuals by offering a process for individual foundations wishing to do the same in their own community, without having to change their structure or add any significant new resources.
Within the traditional funding model, community foundations usually grant funds to a third party, who then bring a project, program, or community event to life. This model allows for transparency, efficient use of funds, and invariably reaches a wide cross-section of the community. Where this model falls short, however, is in addressing the immediate needs of individuals or families experiencing short-term crises.
In its almost 10 years of operation, Albany Community Foundation has seen many families and individuals who have needed a helping hand to get past a difficult period in their life. Often, there are relatively low-cost items that would make a huge difference to the outcomes of individuals. These items range from clothing and basic household furniture to car registration and crisis accommodation. Often, these are items that existing funding overlooks.
In ACF’s proposal, service organisations request financial assistance on behalf of their existing clients for specific items. The agency must demonstrate that the items requested are necessary, and that they fall into an existing funding gap. With its streamlined granting processes already in place, the community foundation can then quickly assess the application and fund the agency.
The approach is based on trust; agencies know their clients best, and what existing services and support they can access, where the gaps are, and what they most need to help move past the crisis they are facing. The discussion paper includes a simple application form and eligibility criteria, which other community foundations are encouraged to use.
Since implementing the approach, Albany Community Foundation has collaborated with over 20 local agencies to in support 100’s of individuals and families, funding in excess of $993,386 in direct support.
‘At ACF,’ writes Foundation Chair Tae Wood, ‘we consider our role within the community is to lead by example, fill gaps and support as many vulnerable community members as possible.’
Beyond providing direct support to individuals, the approach encourages collaboration with multiple community organisations and promotes engagement with donors.
Tae Wood says that;
“They key to the success of the model is allowing each party to do what they do best – agencies are best placed to assess needs of individuals including full wrap around support, and community foundations are best placed to raise funds and provide a flexible and streamlined approach to supporting community.  It is a match made in heaven!”

The Albany Community Foundation: supporting individuals through crisis

Advocacy Matters is a monthly column contributed by Neil Pharaoh to Community Foundations Australia, focusing on all things politics, policy, campaigns and advocacy. Stay tuned for updates around political trends and elections, lobbying and advocacy news, and hints, tips and ideas on government engagement.

Community foundations are in a unique position when it comes to Federal Government advocacy. Now that the Federal Budget has been handed down, all community foundations should be asking what they can do to profile the causes in their community, and the organisations they support.

The first task post-Budget is having a look at what projects are being funded in your catchment or area – were there any specific announcements? Or projects which your local MP may have announced? Perhaps the local upper house MP or Senator may have published some also. Looking at Ministers’ media releases may take a bit longer, but if you can’t find a local announcement, they can also assist in pointing you in the right direction. If there is a local project, write to your local MP from your community foundation, and specifically profile and mention the organisations you are supporting doing work in that area. This is a great way to provide third party validity to the organisations you are supporting, increase your profile (and their profile) with a local MP, and highlight your connectedness to the local community.
If there were no local projects announced, look to any new initiatives or programs and see if there is any alignment with thematic areas you might be funding locally. For instance, you may be funding a project in education and there is a new education announcement – connect the dots for the local MP (political parties aligned) and perhaps ask if they too might be engaged in the work. This creates a great opportunity for your community foundation to not just support organisations financially but provide new profile and opportunities as well.
There are also several small things you can do as a local community foundation:
<ul>
<li>Add your local MP (and Candidates during elections) to your social media.</li>
<li>Include them in your community foundation newsletter or mail out, and make sure they get information on projects, including things like case studies and your annual report or profile piece.</li>
<li>Scan ahead up to 6 months and look for opportunities and events where the MP can come along – both meeting the community foundation, and also meeting recipients and organisations you are supporting.</li>
</ul>
When you do catch up, or the MP attends an event, be sure to grab a photo, tag and share, and perhaps even draft some copy for the MP to post about the event on their own social media – a little bit of advanced planning and effort can go a long way. Many MPs also have extensive (and deep) social media following as well – think about how you can leverage it to reach a new audience.
And while one Budget is over for the year, remember that the advocacy required to get projects into the Budget starts again pretty quickly – no sooner is a Budget handed down than the public service switches to focusing on the mid-year economic and fiscal update (MYEFO) as well as preparing for the following year’s Budget. Keep in mind that the first draft of a Federal Budget is actually put together early in the New Year – and with a potential election in the back half of next year, or early the following – the 24/25 budget will be on Election footings – which means preparatory work now.
Finally, a couple of things not to do around Budget time: nobody reads media releases being critical of government announcements – media releases post-Budget for most organisations are ancient relics well past their prime. Remember too that governments can’t do everything at once, and priorities and pressure builds over time – while slow, advocacy often takes years (not months!) to achieve funding, regulatory and legislative change – it rarely happens overnight.

On October 23-25, 120 community foundation practitioners gathered on Wadawurrung country in the heart of Geelong, Victoria, for the first national forum in three years.

Highlights from the 2022 National Community Foundations Forum

On Victoria’s south west coast, in the deepest part of lockdown, one of the only sports allowed was surfing. Through those long times, the beach became the only place where young people could connect, putting on wetsuits and sitting beyond the breakers, talking through what they were experiencing and throwing in a bit of fun and physical activity. For the young people of Warrnambool, surfing became the most important part of maintaining good mental health. People started to notice how important it was to maintain this sense of connection throughout and beyond lockdowns and started the <a href="https://brophy.org.au/stoked/">STOKED Surfing Program</a> in response.
<a href="https://www.southwestcommunityfoundation.org/">South West Community Foundation</a> (SWCF), which has been supporting communities throughout South West Victoria since 2007, partnered with the <a href="https://www.fletcherjonesfdn.org/">Fletcher Jones Family Foundation</a> (FJFF) who provided seed funding for the pilot program. <a href="https://brophy.org.au/">Brophy Family and Youth Service</a> identified an opportunity to re-engage with a struggling youth cohort through the STOKED idea, and with their deep local knowledge, and the SWCF was proud to have been able to provide them with timely, tactical funding to fulfil an important need in a time of great distress for many.
Run for young people between the ages of 14-25, STOKED aims to teach surfing as a coping strategy for mental health issues. The program connects young people to their communities, and exposes them to the healing power of the ocean. It also delivers education on mental health, led by community leaders in health and wellbeing, as well as qualified practitioners from a range of Brophy programs including Headspace, DARE, and Healthy Relationships. And of course, the program would not be possible without the volunteer mentors from the local surfing community.
Since SWCF’s initial funding, STOKED has gone from strength to strength. Government agencies and departments, as well as other local philanthropic trusts, have recognised the overwhelming positive impact that a program like this provides the community. Brophy has since been successful in larger state and federal funding rounds, and was the Winner of the 2022 Vic Health “Building Back Better’ Award. All of this has enabled the creators to run the project full-time, engage more facilitators, purchase more equipment, and most importantly help many more young people, from the South Australian border all the way to Apollo Bay. Excitingly, in
The STOKED story highlights the natural agility of the community foundation model. SWCF was able to act quickly where other agencies and bureaucracies were slower to respond. The Foundation’s seed funding brought a solution to life, and in turn proved the need existed. The ripple effects of this seed funding cannot be overstated; it has since led to further funding, scaling up, resulting in even greater, ongoing community impact.
Just like South West Community Foundation, community foundations across the country have the freedom to fund niche solutions to locally specific problems. Their partners trust them to support initiatives, and carry out the governance and distribution appropriately.
The <a href="https://brophy.org.au/stoked/">STOKED Surfing Program</a> continues to run in 2023, teaching young people surfing as a coping strategy for mental health, connecting them to community, and delivering education on mental health and wellbeing.
“STOKED is such an incredible example of a community-led response to a complex, wicked problem.  The program is growing and evolving to meet the changing needs of the community, and still underpinned by the core model of yarn, surf, eat. The program, mentors and facilitators have become fixtures in the south west, and we are so proud to have played a small role in helping this all on its way.” Annabel Cussen – Executive Officer, South West Community Foundation

PRF’s mission is to help end cycles of disadvantage in Australia by enabling equitable opportunity for people and communities to thrive. The partnership between Community Foundations Australia and PRF recognises the unique role community foundations play in addressing disadvantage at a local level.
Building a strong and sustainable peak body is a critical part of growing community foundations in place so they can in turn strengthen the communities they serve through their work.
“We are glad we can be supportive, and we are looking forward to achieving great things together” said the Foundation’s CEO Professor Kristy Muir as the partnership was finalised in December.
Ben Rodgers, Chair of Community Foundations Australia, said that PRF support for growing community foundations was a game changer for the sector. “Like any partner, PRF contributes so much more than money. Their involvement signals that they share our commitment to growing our sector for a fairer Australia, and confidence in what we are doing. This is PRF’s first grant to our organisation. It helps broaden our support base and connects us to a wider network of influencers and potential collaborators to accelerate our network’s growth nationally. We are excited and grateful that PRF have decided to join us on this journey and look forward to working together.”

Community Foundations Australia Executive Officer, Gerlinde Scholz, has informed the board that she will finish in her role at the end of June.
In four-and-a-half years at the helm, Gerlinde has led the peak body – known as Australian Community Philanthropy when she started – through a period of unprecedented growth, including securing multi-year partnerships with a cohort of supporters.
Board Chair, Ben Rodgers, said Gerlinde’s powerful legacy was a stronger, more mature peak body better able to support its members and create a bigger, more successful future for community foundations in Australia.
&#8220;Gerlinde’s passion for a fairer and more equitable Australia has been translated in practical ways, from coordinating the national forums in Goolwa and Geelong to supporting members through natural disaster response and COVID19, from building a stronger case for DGR reform to rebranding the organisation and growing the staff team, her work has been crucial to building momentum for our sector.&#8221;
Gerlinde said the talented team now in place at Community Foundations Australia will ensure continuity through the leadership transition and beyond, backed by an inspiring group of funders.
“It has been a privilege to work with our community foundation members and our supporters, and very rewarding to lead the organisation to this point,” said Gerlinde. “We have come a long way, and the time is right to pass the baton.”
Over the coming weeks, Gerlinde will work with the staff team on a transition plan and hand-over, and will lead Community Foundations Australia’s engagement with the Productivity Commission Philanthropy Inquiry to conclusion.
Our sincere thanks to Gerlinde for all she has done to nurture the peak body and its community foundation members over the last four-and-a-half years.

It’s a fitting change for a foundation that puts community at the centre of all its activities.
In 2022, the Foundation conducted <a href="/research-publications">Vital Signs</a> – a community based data-gathering program that harnesses local knowledge to drive change on key issues. The resulting report is a first for the Foundation and the Southern Highlands region, pulling together over 100 data-points across the key themes of health, housing, education, employment, and belonging.
Published in March 2023, the <a href="https://admin.cfaustralia.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Southern-Highlands-Vital-Signs-WEB-2.pdf">report</a> draws on public information sources, as well as a tailor-made community survey developed and distributed by the Foundation. The result is an immensely valuable local asset, revealingsome unexpected challenges faced by the community. For instance, it found that almost half of the Shire’s population don’t feel as though they are a part of the community; incidence of arthritis and dementia is above state averages; domestic violence-related assaults have increased over the last 5 years; and one third of the population don’t feel that living in the Southern Highlands is affordable.
Issues highlighted by the Southern Highlands Vital Signs will directly inform the Foundation’s future funding rounds. Foundation Chair, Nicole Smith, says, ‘our hope is that this report will help to spark debate, shine a light on the areas of need, and assist community organisations in creating funding initiatives that can have real, long-lasting impact.’ You can watch Foundation directors and members of the Southern Highlands community discuss the Vital Signs report <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=126&amp;v=dWovRWHncJE&amp;embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fshcf.org.au%2F&amp;source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDM2ODQyLDM2ODQyLDM2ODQyLDM2ODQyLDM2ODQy&amp;feature=emb_logo">here</a>.

‘We’re looking forward to making a difference. There is much hidden need within our community, and we plan to have positive, meaningful impact wherever we can.’

To mark 21 years of local community building, the Foundation has announced a round of <a href="https://shcf.org.au/community-grants/">‘21st birthday grants’</a> for projects and programs in the categories of First Nations, arts and culture, and cancer care. ‘It’s our birthday,’ states the announcement, ‘so to celebrate we want to give back to the community.’
<a href="https://shcf.org.au/highlands-heroes/">Highlands Heroes</a> is another of the Foundation’s recently announced programs for 2023. These bi-monthly awards recognise the quiet achievers within the community who work tirelessly for their chosen cause. Community organisations are invited to nominate volunteers, with winners awarded a $5,000 grant for their organisation.
The momentum and purpose behind SHCF couldn’t be clearer. ‘We’re looking forward to making a difference. There is much hidden need within our community, and we plan to have positive, meaningful impact wherever we can.’
Congratulations to SHCF on this important milestone, and to all the people involved whose commitment and work is helping to connect and strengthen community, sparking discussion and generating hope.

Vital Signs® is a community-driven data program that uses local knowledge to measure the vitality of a community and support action towards improving the collective quality of life.
First developed by the Toronto Community Foundation in 2001, it became a national program spearheaded by Community Foundations of Canada (CFC) in 2006 and is now licenced by CFC for use by community foundations throughout the world.
In Australia, twelve Community Foundations have so far collaborated with local stakeholders to undertake this pulse check in their communities with further Vital Signs reports by Australia’s Community Foundations due to be released in 2022.
