Support community funding programs for South West Victoria

Including  communities like Colac, Camperdown, Terang, Koroit, Mortlake, Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland, and Hamilton.

The South West Community Foundation believes in the power of connection.

When passionate people are connected with purposes they genuinely care about, great things happen.

The Foundation is working to connect our community with resources provided  by organisations and individuals like you who understand the value of good corporate and community citizenship and want to make a genuine difference.

With the flexibility and independence to fund needs that are not the traditional focus of governments, we are matching local donations with areas of local needs to effect positive change.

So with your help, we can create a greater permanent fund to build a stronger, more enriched and sustainable community today and for generations to come – one purpose at a time!

There are many ways you can be a part of this important initiative to effect change from the ground up.
