The LV Foundation drives change through the following activities:
Scholarship Fund: providing scholarships to staff, directors and members of community organisations to participate in leadership development programs.
Community Projects: funding programs to coordinate pro-bono specialists to assist community organisations, mentor programs to support developing community leaders, establishing Communities of Practice to bring people with a common purpose together and support them to share, develop and transfer knowledge.
Collective Impact Major Projects: establishing collective impact cross-sector and philanthropic partnerships to tackle major community issues through innovative projects and programs.
The LV Foundation welcomes:
- Individual donations of any amount
- Major gifts
- Bequests
- Philanthropic grants
Donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax receipt.
We’re proud to have been founded by philanthropy and we’re extremely appreciative of the generosity of our donors who support the LV Foundation scholarships. Without this extra support these aspiring leaders would not be able to benefit from the opportunity our programs provide and amplify their ability to make a difference, fulfil their purpose and have an impact in their community, Victoria and beyond.[/lv_text_content]
