The Initiate Action Community Fund

The Initiate Action Community Fund has been established to support educational initiatives and causes that work to break the cycle of disadvantage in the community. 

The Initiate Action Community Fund (IACF) has been established by Phillip and Mercedes Slater and is a sub-fund of the Australian Communities Foundation (ACF).

Initiate Action will continue to build the fund by donating a percentage of annual profits and 100% of all revenue from ebook sales (see below).

Cara

Cara is a not for profit community service organisation providing specialist accommodation, care and support for vulnerable children and young women who are unable to live at home or with their family.

Grants from the Initiate Action Community Fund in 2011 will enable Cara to provide educational support to young women and parenting teenagers.  

Western Chances

Western Chances has a vision to see young people achieve their full potential. To achieve this the organisation assists motivated young people by providing scholarships, opportunity programs and ongoing support.

Grants from the Initiate Action Community Fund in 2011 will enable Western Chances to provide three scholarships supporting further education.
