Our History

The GCF was launched in June 2010 by Hon Adriana Taylor (former Mayor of Glenorchy) with support from Glenorchy City Council and the Australian Communities Foundation. Led by a dedicated local volunteer committee, we began with a simple goal: to raise and invest funds that support projects making Glenorchy a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.

In 2014, the GCF became a registered charity and independent company, with the founding committee forming our first Board of Directors. We now hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, meaning donations are tax-deductible.

All funds raised are carefully managed and invested to benefit the Glenorchy community for years to come.

Acknowledgement of Country

In recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, the Glenorchy Community Fund acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people, the original and continuing custodians of the Land, Sea and Sky. We acknowledge and pay our respects to all Aboriginal people of Lutruwita, all of whom have survived invasion and dispossession and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Aboriginal rights.
