Donations, however small or large, are pooled and carefully invested, and the income from these investments is distributed as grants for community projects. Using only the income from investments ensures funds will grow and generate funding for Buderim community organisations into the future.
Donors are mainly long-term residents choosing to give to the community where they live. Some choose to give during their lifetime, some choose to leave a bequest and some choose to make a donation in memory of someone dear to them. Some Buderim residents have donated valuable items such as shares, wine and artwork and some simply support fund raising events.
Donations can be tax deductible and receipts are always available. However if tax deductibility is not important for you or your group, please tell us, as it helps the Foundation to provide grants to a wider range of community organisations.
In 2012, the Foundation launched a fund raising campaign entitled the B150 Community Challenge as part of the celebrations marking 150 years of settlement in Buderim.
