The Give Where You Live Foundation exists to make our community fairer.
By creating a fairer Geelong community we are ensuring that all people and places thrive.
Despite growing prosperity in our region, inequity still exists.
We work to remove barriers and create opportunities for people. To ensure that everyone has equitable access to food, housing, and employment.
Our work is to see what needs to be changed and work with our community to make a positive change.
To make a fairer, more equitable community.
We want to be recognised as one of the most progressive Foundations in Australia.
We will use all our energy and resources, in partnership with the community, so that all people and all places thrive.
Creating TrustAt the core of every relationship is trust. We choose to start from trusting in other’s motivations, knowledge, expertise and experiences
Working TogetherWe’re better together. The best outcomes are a result of partnerships, collective action and the wisdom of crowds.
Working with DriveWe value action, getting things done and are driven by achieving outcomes that match our purpose.
Being BoldWe value the imaginative. Those that can imagine a better way and then pursue that with courage and care.
Having FunWhile change can be complex and challenging, we value the perspective that fun and good humour brings to this work.
The Foundation’s Theory of Change is our hypothesis about how we can address inequity within our region in the most effective and efficient way to achieve a greater and long-lasting impact.
