Investing in the long-term future of Hobsons Bay community.
Established in 2006, the Hobsons Bay Community Fund is a perpetual fund built by locals, for locals.
Our purpose is to strengthen the Hobsons Bay community for present and future generations by creating a lasting, reliable source of funding.
As a trusted local partner—not a government body or service provider—we work alongside community organisations. Together, we help fund practical, community-led ideas that build connection and wellbeing for the long haul.
Making a lasting difference.
Since 2006, the Hobsons Bay Community Fund has provided over $804,000 in grants to support more than 200 local groups.
Donations made to the Community Fund are pooled and invested, so our support keeps giving back year after year.
Grants in Action
