The Gippsland Community Foundation (GCF) is a philanthropic trust that was created in 2021 for the people of Gippsland.

It exists to make a positive and lasting difference to the Gippsland region, creating stronger and more resilient communities that are equitable, connected, forward-looking and sustainable.

Community foundations are uniquely placed to understand and respond to the immediate and longer-term needs of their communities.
