The association (CFA/sia) was incorporated on 7 August 2000 under the Victorian Associations Incorporations Act 1981 to meet the growing demand for information about the formation and development of community foundations.

It is now no longer in operation.

The association had eighteen members comprising individuals and representatives of several interested organisations.

There was a committee of nine people from five Australian states. The first president was Jill Reichstein (chair of The Reichstein Foundation).

In February 2001, CFA/sia received a grant of $57,809 from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation in the USA to support the association’s work in developing community foundations in Australia.

CFA/sia joined with the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) and Philanthropy Australia in a joint task force [year?]. This was perceived as the most effective way in which the objectives of the association could be achieved in the short term. This task force jointly developed the first version of the Community Foundations Gateway.
