Northern Rivers Community Foundation General Appeal

The Northern Rivers Community Foundation is an independent philanthropic foundation, providing a sustainable way to benefit the community of the Northern Rivers region.

The Foundation gathers gifts from a wide range of donors. These gifts are pooled to form a capital base which is invested.

The Foundation grows the capital base by investing with professional fund managers. Only the income from the investments is used to fund community projects. In this way, a donor's gift continues to benefit the community year after year.

The Foundation gives the interest earned on investments backs to the community though an annual grants program. This program supports social, environmental and cultural needs in the NSW Northern Rivers region. The Foundation ensures that funds are targeted effectively by drawing upon information from other community and government organisations.
