Forum 2010
Australian Community Foundations Forum 2010
Held at the Best Western Melbourne Airport Conference Centre in Victoria in October, the Australian Community Foundations Forum 2010 – Grassroots Philanthropy, Growing and Maturing - was a great success. Hosted jointly by Philanthropy Australia and FRRR, and sponsored by JBWere, there were 63 delegates at the 3 day event.
Highlights of the Forum included an address by Lily D’Ambrosio MP, Minister for Community Development, and Les Wilcox from TCFN (The Community Foundations Network in the UK) on DIGITS. The technical sessions on governance, compliance and accounting of community foundations were, as always, much valued by participants.
Lynne Wannan AM, Director of the Office for the Community Sector, DPCD, addressed the Forum on their Community Funds Initiative, followed by presentations from community foundations that have raised the matching funding.
