Investing in the long-term future of Hobsons Bay community.
The Hobsons Bay Community Fund supports local groups making a real difference across our area. Established in 2006, we pool and invest donations so they keep generating grants year after year.
We aren't a government body or service provider—we are local partners. By working alongside groups supporting the local community, we help fund practical ideas that build connection, strength, and wellbeing now and for generations to come.
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.
