Geyser Community Foundation

Geyser Community Foundation Community Foundations provide a smarter way to give to the community you love. With Community Foundations, you don't have to be wealthy to have an impact.

We can invest and grow your donations so the interest they earn can benefit your chosen local causes year on year, forever. Whether its a large or small gift, a one-off or regular contribution, all giving makes a difference through us. Our smarter giving model allows your giving to have benefits that last forever. We're different because we're not about one single cause; we're about a place and it

s people. Through us you can choose which significant local projects and causes to invest in to help transform our community. Here's how it works
Donations can be invested so they can grow and become long-term reliable funding streams. It's the income your giving earns that is distributed to worthy, local causes every year; the original gift itself remains protected so it can continue to benefit your chosen causes in your community well into the future.

In January we held our first Datathon, and it was a great success.

Three generous volunteers joined us. A sincere thank you to Mary, Mari and Jyotika, who each gave three mornings of their time, working steadily in Excel to help get our data into shape.

Through this process, we have identified an ongoing need for administrative support. If you have strong organisational skills, enjoy working with systems and data, and would like to contribute in a practical way, we would love to hear from you.

Please contact our General Manager, Rosie Riggir, to find out more.

Are you up to date with the changes to the Incorporated Societies Act?

โš ๏ธ By 5 April 2026, all incorporated societies must re register, appoint a liquidator, or apply to be dissolved. If no action is taken, the society will cease to exist.

If you have decided not to re register, or if managing your trust has become increasingly complex, there is another option that can preserve your legacy. A trust transfer to Geyser Community Foundation can ensure your funds remain protected and continue supporting the causes you care about, with strong governance and long term stewardship.

Contact Rosie Riggir, our General Manager, to discuss your options.
