Manningham Community Fund

Manningham Community Fund is a charitable fund account of the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation. The fund is a separate legal entity from the City of Manningham.

The Fund has been established to raise much-needed funds to help community organisations with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR)* status support the needs of people living in Manningham. It does this by encouraging tax-deductible donations, gifts and bequests that build up the fund corpus in perpetuity. Each year the fund earns income (in the form of interest) which can then be available to the community in the form of grants.

The Manningham Community Fund supports and distributes funds to community organisations to create a positive change in the community.
