History
 The Queensland Community
Foundation in its current form was established in 1997 under the
trusteeship of the Public Trustee of Queensland. A Board
of Governors was appointed to help foster the growth of the
foundation.
The name had been used previously by ANZ Trustees but the use
of the name was allowed when it became apparent that the Public
Trustee of Queensland had the capacity and desire to drive the
development and growth of the fund.
QCF's mission statement is: -
"To provide a permanent source of philanthropic funding for
charitable organisations to enable them to respond to emerging
community needs and to meet the needs of Queenslanders in crisis
situations"
QCF's goals are: -
- Provide a cost effective, flexible and financially secure
mechanism for people/organisations wishing to become involved in
philanthropy.
- Encourage individuals, communities, groups and corporations
to make a permanent commitment to the welfare of the community.
- Provide public recognition for good works of philanthropists
and communities.
- Encourage charities to provide for their future funding by
establishing fund
