LUCRF Super has established the LUCRF Community Partnership Trust, which will aim to support community programs through providing grants.
“This Community Partnership Trust serves as a unique opportunity for LUCRF to engage with the communities in which our members work and live, where we hope to make a real difference in people’s lives,” said LUCRF Super chief executive Greg Sword.
The Board of Trustees for the LUCRF Community Partnership Trust will focus on identifying and supporting worthwhile programs that build skills, capacity and knowledge within communities. The grants will provide both immediate assistance and support to build long-term solutions for community partners and their services, according to LUCRF.
The inaugural grant recipients of the Trust are the Doxa Youth Foundation, Sister Francesca Healy Cottage, and Youth Projects Limited.
