The Australian Charities Fund is excited to announce its new
partnership model that will be operating from 1 July 2010. The new
model is the culmination of the insights and findings from our
year-long research and nine month strategic review.
Building a movement for greater social impact
Together, with employers and community organisations, ACF is building a movement to substantially grow employee giving and other workplace support as the most cost effective and efficient fundraising channel. To do this and achieve greater social impact ACF is asking employers and community organisations to invest in a collaborative future.
ACF wants to partner with employers and community organisations that are intentionally part of this movement.
How the new model will affect our partners?
The new model will significantly change the way in which ACF partners with community organisations and works with employers and their employees to build best practice and engaged employee giving programs.
Our new employer partner and community partner brochures outline the full details of the new partnership model.
View the 'How we partner with employers' and the 'How we partner with community organisations' brochures.
