What We Stand For


The purpose of the Sydney Community Foundation is to connect people who care with causes that matter to Sydney.

Our vision is a sustainable and inclusive Sydney community.

Our mission is to strengthen our community by connecting the people of Sydney.

We do this by:

  • Integrity and respect - always acting honestly and valuing the contribution and dignity of every person with whom we deal
  • Sustainable - making a long-term difference for our community by remaining cost effective and sustainable
