Making a Difference Where We Live
The Community Foundation for Snowy Valleys Region
We are a local, independent not-for-profit organisation helping to build a stronger, more connected and resilient Snowy Valleys region.
Formerly known as the Tumut Community Foundation, we support the aspirations and needs of our community by raising funds and directing them to initiatives that make a real difference — right here where we live.
As part of a global network of community foundations, we combine deep local knowledge with proven expertise in community-led giving, grant-making and long-term planning. We bring people together … individuals, families, businesses and local organisations …. to respond to the region’s challenges and opportunities.
What we do
We fund what matters
By gathering donations and distributing them through a community-led grant process, we ensure that funding goes where it is needed most.
We offer local-giving advice
Grounded in research and community insight, we help donors and partners give in ways that create long-term value.
We facilitate and connect
We create space for conversation and
community-led collaboration. We help communities set priorities and shape their futures.

Community development and renewal

Whether you are a donor, community group, business or someone with an idea to make things better — we are here to help make it happen.
