Today, our Schools in Philanthropy participants made their formal presentations to our Foundation board.

The groups made their grant recommendations, delivered their rationale, and reflected on their learnings throughout the program.

A huge thank you to our mentors including CEO Amy Waters, Freda Wright and Janine Smith, our board chair Michael Betts and the rest of the Foundation board, and of course participating students for their excellent work 🤩

It was so lovely to see the Bluebird Foundation NO

It was so lovely to see the Bluebird Foundation NORTH Children’s Choir participate in a moving and heartfelt ANZAC Day service.

At the break of dawn the group stood tall in Norlane, lending their voices in honour of the memory of those who served.

We are proud to support this wonderful organisation, and they should be very proud of the way they have represented themselves and their community on one of our country’s most important days of recognition.

Our CEO Amy Waters said that this 25th anniversary is a significant milestone for the Geelong Community Foundation.

“It’s a celebration of 25 years of meaningful partnership with our donors, grant partners, and the wider community,” she said.

“Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve invested more than $15.1 million into local initiatives, creating lasting positive impact.”

“As we reflect on how far we’ve come, we’re also planning strategically for the future, ensuring the Foundation continues to be a strong and enduring resource for our community.”

Last week we’ve had the pleasure of looking back

Last week we’ve had the pleasure of looking back on the Geelong Community Foundation’s 25 year history through interviews with our Board Chair Michael Betts, Founding Director Val Lawrence, two of our incredible donors Hayden Torney and Barry Cooper, and three of our Grant Partners including Cottage by the Sea Queenscliff, Geelong Foodshare and The Empowerment Challenge.

It has been inspiring to hear how our grant funding is supporting our community and making a real impact in the lives of individuals and families.

We can’t wait to share this video with the Geelong community at our Annual Grant Reception and 25 year celebration in May.
