CARDINIA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Local giving with powerful results!

Cardinia is a growing community with diverse needs, including improving health and wellbeing, fostering social inclusion, and strengthening community connections. Without sufficient funding and support, many local initiatives and causes struggle to address these issues effectively. The community needs a unifying force to connect resources with the areas where they can make the most impact, ensuring that everyone can thrive.

Natural Disaster Fund

Consider making a pledge today!

Cardinia Shire is one of Victoria's fastest-growing regions and among Australia's most disaster-prone areas. From Black Saturday to recent devastating storms, our community has faced repeated natural disasters that demand rapid, coordinated response.
Our Foundation has established a Natural Disaster Relief Fund to address this challenge. Rather than waiting for disasters to strike, we're building a reserve of philanthropic pledges that can be activated immediately when emergencies occur.
Working closely with Emergency Recovery Victoria, Cardinia Shire Council, and local recovery committees, we're uniquely positioned to mobilise resources quickly and effectively when our community needs it most.
We're not asking for donations today—we're inviting you to pledge support that would only be called upon if a local disaster is declared. This proactive approach ensures swift assistance when it matters most.
