Our focus areas
Strengthening Democracy is one of our five key focus areas, guiding the way we give at Australian Communities Foundation.
In 2019, the Impact Fund raised $150,000 for an impact and outreach campaign for the upcoming documentary The Democracy Project, directed by Craig Reucassel.
The Democracy Project is an upcoming social impact documentary that follows actor and comedian Christiaan Van Vuuren (Soul Mates; Bondi Hipsters) as he pulls back the curtain on the relationship between money and power in Australia. Provocative and timely, the film is a wakeup call to all Australians about the frightening extent to which money has infiltrated politics in our country, why we should care, and ultimately, how we might work together to ensure our democracy is safeguarded from sale to the highest bidder. The film brings together the diverse skill sets of an accomplished creative team that uses comedy as a tool to inform and effect positive social change.
