Kiera Moloney works in the Philanthropy Team as the Philanthropy and Grantmaking Manager at Australian Communities Foundation, supporting our community of givers and assisting donors with enquiries related to funds and grantmaking.

I’m passionate about…

I’m particularly motivated by initiatives that address structural disadvantage and improve outcomes for young people and their communities, and I enjoy connecting funders with opportunities that drive real change. My lived experience as a carer influences my professional practice, and I am passionate about leveraging resources, insights, and the voice of lived experience to design and implement programs that address community needs.  

My experience

I’m a dynamic values-led manager with experience in philanthropy, project management, and stakeholder engagement. I have experience working across family foundations, not-for-profits, and corporate philanthropy, including roles at State Trustees, Equity Trustees, Gandel Foundation and Neighbourhood Houses Victoria. I work part-time at ACF and also at Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, where I have continued as project manager of several major projects for the neighbourhood house sector. I bring a strong focus on impact, stakeholder engagement, and best-practice philanthropy.
