Inspiring Philanthropy
Since 1923

Together we inspire philanthropy.

At the Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation we inspire philanthropy by bringing people, ideas and funding together.

A special 90th anniversary event

A donation to the Flower Day Appeal will support women and girls to fulfil their potential and improve their lives.

You can be a philanthropist.

Giving is a very personal decision. How to give and who to support requires careful and informed decision-making.

Our work is informed by our research.

We are committed to researching community need, the role of philanthropy and measuring the impact of what we do in the community.

Nurturing the next generation of giving.

Our Youth in Philanthropy program encourages young people to learn about ways in which giving and grantmaking can make a real difference.

New opportunities for grant seekers.

Our grants program provides a range of funding opportunities for very small to very large charitable organisations.

This year, the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation celebrates 90 years of responsive philanthropy within the greater Melbourne community.
