Named Sub-funds

Helping you and your family to plan your giving

Donors can request to establish sub-funds in any of the trust funds operated and managed by Australian Communities Foundation which can be named for a cause or after a donor.

The sub-funds operate as management accounts for the purpose of tracking donations and grants attributed to a donor or a cause. 

Sub-funds are not separate to the other money in the trust fund. 

All funds are pooled for investments purposes.  

Each sub-fund is allocated units within the Trust Fund and all income and capital is attributed to each fund in units. 

How to set up a Sub-fund

It is very simple to set up a sub-fund.

Donors can request to establish a sub-fund by completing an establishment form and making an initial donation. Australian Communities Foundation accepts initial donations of as little as $20,000 with no upper limit. 

All applications for sub-funds are approved by the Board. 

Once approved the donor receives a confirmation letter that the sub-fund has been established including a receipt and signed copy of the establishment form and details on how to access 'Donor Central'.
