QLD End of Year Lunch and QSO Experience

We are delighted to invite our giving community to Australian Communities Foundation’s 2025 end-of-year gathering and Queensland Symphony Orchestra event in Brisbane.

Join ACF CEO, Andrew Binns, and Thomas Lopez (Fund and Client Services Lead) at Southside Restaurant as they unveil ACF’s new strategy and reflect on the breadth of our giving community’s activity this year. Reconnect with old friends, make new connections, and celebrate our collective impact.

Afterwards, our friends at Queensland Symphony Orchestra have kindly invited us to walk together to ABC Brisbane Centre to enjoy an exclusive one-hour behind-the-scenes concert rehearsal led by Concertmaster, Natsuko Yoshimoto.
