Our purpose in establishing the Foundation was to allow donors to make tax deductible gifts that are 100% distributed to the Melbourne and surrounding area communities. That’s right, no overhead, no administrative expenses, no fund raising expenses – your entire contribution ends up benefiting Melbourne and its residents.
