About QCF

Established in 1997 and chaired by Mike Ahern, the Queensland Community Foundation (QCF) is a public charitable trust set up to serve the State's communities by providing a permanent funding source for charities and non profit organisations.

QCF is a collection of sub-funds which is growing all the time.

Individuals, companies, charities and other groups - sometimes communities - may establish a sub-fund under the QCF Trust Deed to support a cause or causes of their choice in their chosen geographic area.

The funds are invested in perpetuity and the income is distributed for charitable causes.

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.

You pay no legal or set-up charges when you give through the Queensland Community Foundation. The Public Trustee of Queensland, QIC and Anglo Coal Australia Pty Ltd provide administrative and financial support as part of thier community service obligation.

This is a safe, simple and tax effective way to make a difference to Queensland charities - forever.
