Community Grant Recipient Showcase

Hobsons Bay Community Fund (in conjunction with Alex and Jono Films) is proud to present a Showcase of some of our more recent grant recipients. This short movie provides some heartfelt insight into how small grants can make a big difference to the every day lives of the people within our Hobsons Bay community.

Hobsons Bay Community Fund

The Hobsons Bay Community Fund is a perpetual philanthropic fund established in 2006 to provide financial grants to community groups and organisations operating in the Melbourne bayside municipality of Hobsons Bay. The municipality takes in the suburbs of Spotswood, Newport, Williamstown, Altona, Altona North, Altona Meadows, Laverton and Seabrook.

The fund is governed by a small group of local citizens and although strongly supported by the Hobsons Bay City Council, it is independent and arms length from the council. Projects funded must benefit and strengthen the Hobsons Bay community for present and future generations.
