About Bass Coast Community Foundation

The Bass Coast Community Foundation (BCCF) is a philanthropic organisation providing a vehicle for individuals to donate their own money to a managed trust account, decide what charity or community projects to support, and we make grants that have a greater social impact, in perpetuity. BCCF is a local charitable organisation, independent of religious or political persuasion established in 2002 in response to a growing need for a sustainable source of funds for community projects. The BCCF operates exclusively within the boundaries of the Bass Coast Shire and is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors. The BCCF serves three key functions in this area: * To act as a vehicle for philanthropy (donor program) * To act as a local grant maker (giving program) * To act as a community leader (community reference point) Each year the BCCF is obliged under Federal Tax laws to distribute a minimum of 4% of the capital back into the community. The BCCF has a history of supplementing this amount with funds sourced from external Trusts and Foundations. Since 2002 the BCCF has raised over $1,000,000 (kept in an interest-bearing Trust Account in perpetuity) and distributed over $1,000,000 (from income earned and sourced funds) to community projects, organisations and individuals that build a better Bass Coast. BCCF is a registered charity.
