Where can I get assistance for my community foundation?

The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal and Philanthropy Australia have produced The Community Foundation Kit. The Kit was written and edited by Catherine Brown, Consultant to FRRR’s Community Foundation Program, and is essential for communities that are serious about establishing a Community Foundation. Packed with practical information, the Kit offers a step-by-step guide to creating and developing a community foundation, as well as tips and assistance on key topics such as communications and marketing, fund development, investment management and strategic grantmaking. It includes a glossary and multiple case studies from Australia and overseas.

For more information on The Community Foundations Kit, including purchase details go to the Publications page on the Philanthropy Australia website.
