THE CHIEF MINISTER'S CHARITABLE FUND LIMITED
About
Hands Across Canberra is the ACT's community foundation that raises funds for Canberra's most vulnerable people, invests those funds to grow them, and redistributes them as grants to approximately 350 local charities. Established in 2018, it operates the annual Canberra Day Appeal and manages named funds for long-term community benefit, positioning itself as a vehicle for 'giving where you live' for the Canberra community.
Giving Philosophy
As a community foundation, Hands Across Canberra collects donations from individuals, families, and corporate entities in the ACT and redistributes them through grants to local charities supporting vulnerable Canberrans. They value long-term community investment, offering both immediate appeal giving and endowed named funds that provide ongoing annual distributions to causes donors care about.
Tips for Applicants
Given this is a community foundation that grants to other charities rather than directly to individuals, approach by highlighting how your charity serves vulnerable populations in the ACT. Emphasize alignment with their community-focused mission and demonstrate the local impact in Canberra. Consider establishing a named fund if seeking long-term partnership.

Disability Market Context
NDIS LayerThis organisation shows disability-related delivery signals. The strategic question is whether it sits inside a resilient market, a thin market, or a captured market where large providers take most of the money and local alternatives are scarce.
