Partners

We have big ambitions for Australia's future. We believe communities should have greater ownership, participation and influence over the capital systems that shape their lives. But creating this change will require aligned partners who share that vision.

We're always interested in connecting with organisations, funders and collaborators who want to help build more inclusive and locally beneficial capital systems. We'd love to learn about your interests and explore what partnership could look like.

Learning and practice building

There are already hundreds of proven ways to make capital and wealth function more inclusively and equitably. These programs help make those ideas, approaches and examples more visible and accessible, building the understanding and capability needed to strengthen community capital and community wealth building in practice.

• Community Capital and Community Wealth Building Handbook – Developing an accessible, practical guide to community capital and community wealth building systems and solutions.

• Community Capital and Community Wealth Building Learning Series – Building knowledge and capability across Australia.

Implementation and support

Understanding what is possible is only the beginning. These programs help communities and collaborators translate ideas into action by providing practical support to explore opportunities, build momentum and activate community capital approaches.

• Community Support Program – Supporting local communities to plan, design, and activate community capital and community wealth building systems.

• Collaborators Support Program – Equipping governments, philanthropy, providers and intermediaries to understand and adopt community capital and community wealth building approaches.

Structures & systems

Through our work, we have identified three areas that encompass the largest sources of capital and wealth in Australia: place-based assets, corporations and financial markets. Strengthening these systems represents one of the greatest opportunities to expand economic participation and create lasting community prosperity and resilience.

• Place-Based Asset Ownership Program – Helping communities acquire, own, and govern local assets and enterprises.

• Inclusive Corporate Ownership Program - Developing mechanisms that enable employees, communities and other stakeholders to participate more fully in corporate ownership, wealth creation and governance.

• Community Investment Funds Program – Creating the infrastructure for inclusive community investment and institutional co-investment.

• Better Community Benefit Funding Program - Ensuring that community benefit funding and approaches support community participation, ownership, wealth and wellbeing.
