Welcome to the refreshed brand of Melbourne Anglican Foundation – a new look that reflects a continuing commitment to Helping Transform Communities across Melbourne and Geelong.
Our appearance has been updated, but our mission remains firmly focused: raising and facilitating funds to support the mission and ministry of the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Melbourne. We partner with local churches to help them dream boldly, respond to community needs and strengthen their Christian presence.
Thank you for your interest and support. Together, we can help the good work of our churches continue, grow and transform communities.

Generous Giving: Responding to God’s Grace
The Anglican Church has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and through it I have come to know the life changing love of Jesus Christ. Personally, this has been embodied in my parish as a constant presence of worship, learning, and shared life. Through it, I have received far more than I could ever give.
I want to see that good news continue to be passed on – joyfully and faithfully – through flourishing Anglican parishes, so that many more people can come to know and follow him.
As I have learned more about the Melbourne Anglican Foundation, I have become convinced of the importance of long-term vision for the Church’s mission. Guided by Jesus, I believe the Church has a bright future – but it is not something we can take for granted. After caring for family and supporting parish life, we are faced with a wider question: how might we help ensure the Church continues to grow, serve, and adapt in both long established and new communities?
For me, making a bequest to the Melbourne Anglican Foundation is a way of responding to that question with hope. It is an investment in the Church’s long term mission, and in the people who will encounter Jesus through its ministry long after we are gone.
