When compared to the option of starting a Prescribed Private Fund (PPF) or a private foundation, MCF is a simple and cost effective way of establishing a perpetual source of giving.

It also gives you immediate access to a network of likeminded people and the significant grantmaking skills of MCF. As a donor you have the opportunity to experience the rewards of giving during your life time or to leave a lasting legacy – or both.

MCF has more than 130 sub-funds created by donors who are passionate about the interests, organisations and programs that make Greater Melbourne a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.

Everyday, MCF works personally with donors who want to see their giving make an impact in our communities.

We also provide philanthropic advisory services and consulting to other trusts and foundations, individuals and other organisations.
