Title: Your Basic Guide to Establishing a Community Foundation Prepared By: Andrew Lawson, Catherine Brown, Alice Macdougall Focus: Community Foundations Date: Publisher: Philanthropy Australia Download: Download the draft brochure

Philanthropy Australia, The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal and Community Foundations of Australasia have prepared a draft brochure for Australian community foundations. The brochure is designed for use as a basic guide to the community foundation concept and can be personalised with your own community foundation's name, logo and contact details.

The brochure has been prepared by Andrew Lawson, Community Foundations Development Officer, in consultation with Catherine Brown of Catherine Brown and Associates and Senior Counsel Alice Macdougall at Freehills. The brochure is provided online in a Microsoft Word document, in order to allow regular updating of the content.

While we hope that you find the brochure useful, we do urge you not to alter the wording related to tax and legal issues. This has been checked to ensure that it is accurate and complies with Australian Taxation Office guidelines.
