Queensland Gives by Queensland Community Foundation (QCF) was established by The Honourable Mike Ahern AO in 1997, as a public charitable trust set up to serve Queensland’s communities by providing an enduring funding source for charities.
QCF is now a leading state trust fund of $151m with 262 sub-funds. Since inception, almost $44 million has been distributed for charitable purposes, creating lasting change for the wellbeing of current and future generations.
Individuals, companies, charities and other groups – including communities – may establish a sub-fund under the QCF Trust Deed to support a cause or causes of their choice in their geographic area.
Donations are pooled and invested with the income distributed annually for charitable purposes.
Since establishment in 1997 the pool of invested funds has grown to $115 million as at January 2022. The General Fund was established to provide a secure permanent trust fund for donors wishing to support Queensland charities.
The named sub-funds are held for specific charitable purposes as recommended by donors.
QCF has been sponsored by The Public Trustee of Queensland, Anglo American and QIC since inception. Each of the sponsors commits not just financial assistance, but also resources and services to ensure none of the donated or bequeathed funds are used in administration charges.
The QCF Board of Governors is entirely voluntary and consists of leaders from a variety of fields who give their time as a community service. It is the responsibility of the Board to provide recommendations and information to the Trustee.
