Establishing a Future Fund is an easy, tax-effective and strategic way for not-for-profit organisations to develop their long-term sustainability.

With a low-cost fee structure, a Future Fund enables you to build an endowment for a not-for-profit organisation.

You gain access to our fundraising and donation infrastructure, and can enjoy greater returns than a bank account through our pooled ethical investments.

Future Funds are also available to individuals, families and other groups looking to support a single organisation.

What are the benefits of a Future Fund?

Ethical investing

Build an endowment for your organisation through our pooled ethical investments, where your savings will do good in the community. This is a unique value proposition for your donors too – their donations are doing good while sitting in the Fund.

Fundraising + donation infrastructure

Accept tax-deductible donations via a form integrated with your website or a custom donation page on our online portal, where you can have your own custom donation page. You can also use our fundraising licences in every state and territory. A Future Fund can also help expand your organisation’s supporter base by offering an independent and secure option for donor gifts, including bequests.

Flexible access

Access your Future Fund assets for any purpose, including operational costs. You can continue to build your endowment in perpetuity or choose to draw down the funds over time.

Low fees

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting not-for-profits, Future Funds enjoy discounted administration fees.

+ All the benefits of our community

When you open a Fund, you gain access to all the benefits of joining our community, including events and networking opportunities with givers across Australia, and use of the Community of Giving space in East Melbourne.
