About Us
We’re here to help Glenorchy thrive - today and for generations to come.
By supporting local not-for-profits and funding projects with real impact, we’re strengthening community spirit, backing grassroots solutions, and reducing disadvantage.

Integrity
We act with honesty, fairness, and openness in all our operations and funding decisions.

Inclusion
We recognise and embrace the unique strengths, cultures, and contributions of every individual and group in Glenorchy.

Empowerment
We aim to enable local groups to create positive change within their community.

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.
