In response to barriers to employment facing many marginalised groups in Melbourne’s inner north, INGT supported by its 3 member councils: Moreland, Darebin, and Yarra, established the Inner North Community Foundation in 2008 and from its inception has been its major sponsor. Over $3 million has been donated to the Foundation since 2007 to build the Foundation's corpus and grant making ability.

After four years of grant making, the Foundation has distributed just under half $1 million to more than 35 different community projects. These projects have helped equip 1000 local people with the skills and experience they need to break down barriers to employment and find work.

The Foundation funds local projects in suburbs from Richmond to Reservoir, Collingwood to Coburg, and many more places that lie within the inner north of Melbourne.

The short documentary below provides an overview of how our funding has helped make a difference in the lives of many local people.

All donations to the Foundation are invested and income earned each year is then distributed to community projects. Visit www.innernorthfoundation.org.au or call 8689 1972 for more information.
