Our Impact
Our impact is reflected in communities that generate, own, govern, and invest their own capital — creating wealth and wellbeing that endures.
Our planned impact
We will...
Work with communities and collaborators to build understanding and capability around community and place-based capital — showing how capital systems shape wellbeing, equity, and resilience.
Develop practical tools, training, and programs that enable people and organisations to generate, access, own, govern, pool, invest, and redistribute capital locally — making capital work in more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative ways.
Connect local action with systemic change by aligning policy, partnerships, investment, and infrastructure with community capital approaches that strengthen shared prosperity.
Then...
Communities will have the knowledge, confidence, and structures to take charge of their own development — identifying, mobilising, and growing the forms of capital that support local wellbeing and prosperity.
They will turn local aspirations into tangible strategies, enterprises, and investments that strengthen essential foundations such as housing, livelihoods, natural assets, infrastructure, and community connection.
Collaborators — including service providers, funders, governments, investors, and developers — will have clear pathways to align their strategies and resources with community capital approaches. They will be able to work with communities in ways that build trust, strengthen local ownership, and ensure capital investment delivers shared, lasting benefit.
Together, communities and collaborators will build an interconnected ecosystem for local development — where learning, innovation, and capital are shared to achieve measurable, systemic change.
So that...
Places across Australia can build stronger, fairer, and more regenerative local economies — where wealth and wellbeing are created, retained, and reinvested locally.
Capital will operate as a force for inclusion, participation, and stewardship, empowering communities to address pressing challenges such as housing, cost of living, and sustainability on their own terms.
Over time, communities will hold the power, capital, and confidence to shape their own futures — creating enduring wellbeing for people and place, and contributing to a more equitable, resilient, and community-led national economy and society.
