Community Foundations Forum - registrations open

Registrations are open for the 2012 Australian Community Foundations Forum, Learning, Giving and Growing Our Community Foundations Movement, which will be held at the Dolphin Heads Resort in Mackay, Queensland, on 21-23 August.

This Forum is for:

• Community Foundation practitioners

It’s also the perfect venue for those people from communities seeking to learn about the Community Foundation movement and what it can achieve for their community. Any community or group seeking to investigate the idea of a Community Foundation should have representatives attend this Forum.
