Philanthropy Consulting Service

Australian Communities Foundation provides comprehensive consulting, grant research and philanthropic advisory services for clients, drawing on our unique experience, connections and expertise.

We can help you with:

  • Tailored grant research, due diligence and advice for Private Ancillary Funds (PAFs) and individual donors
  • Exploring philanthropic structures and options to meet your needs
  • Establishing, governing, operating and evaluating your philanthropic programs and foundations
  • Outsourced administration of PAFs or Trust Funds

Over many years Australian Communities Foundation has built considerable knowledge and practice around grantmaking, effective philanthropy and the design and development of philanthropic structures and operations.

We are able to review and evaluate philanthropic programs and operations and undertake feasibility studies for prospective philanthropic initiatives, including the establishment and development of new trusts and foundations.

We are skilled grantmakers and we research, analyse and recommend funding for many charitable projects locally, nationally and internationally. Our research and consulting covers a broad range of client interests, from the arts, education, youth and the aged, to community development, the environment and Indigenous issues.

Australian Communities Foundation shares its expertise and knowledge on a fee-for-service basis to benefit private foundations, private ancillary funds (PAFs), individual donors, corporations, community organisations and government.
