Hobsons Bay Community Fund

HBCF and the University of Melbourne (UoM) Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences (FMDHS) are working in partnership to research and help improve the inclusion of all children and young adults in services, activities and opportunities in the western suburbs.

At the end of their four-month placement in the western suburbs, six UoM Masters of Social Work students presented a Project Report for Phase 1 of the project to the HBCF Committee.  The recommendations in the report will form the basis for Phase 2 of the project in 2017.

Hobsons Bay Community Fund welcomes donations and bequests to support the annual grants program.  Donations to the Hobsons Bay Community Fund can be made through the Australian Communities Foundation website.

To make a tax deductible donation of over $2, donate to HBCF here.

The Hobsons Bay Community Fund is now inviting grant applications from local organisations and associations benefiting the Hobsons Bay community.  Grants are normally in the range from $500 to $5,000 and are to finance local projects which address social disadvantage, promote general health and wellbeing and/or strengthen community networks. 

For further details and access to the grants application form go to the Grants section of this website.
