Mission
Raising funds and supporting community projects that make a real difference to the people of Glenorchy City.
Purpose
To help build a more connected, inclusive, and resilient community, one where everyone feels they belong and can thrive.
History
The Glenorchy Community Fund was officially launched in 2011 with support from the Glenorchy City Council. The then Mayor, Adriana Taylor, helped open the Fund and remains Chair today. Her continued involvement reflects the strong local leadership behind the Fund.
The Fund was set up under the umbrella of the Australian Communities Foundation, which manages and invests charitable funds across Australia. This structure ensures donations are professionally managed and invested to provide ongoing support for the Glenorchy community.
Although the Fund was supported by Council at its launch, it operates independently with the support of volunteers across our community.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we live and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and recognise the enduring connection of Tasmanian Aboriginal people to Country, culture and community.
