ABOUT US
Kalamunda is a unique and special place, home to remarkable people, beautiful landscapes and a deep sense of community connection. For those who live here, there is a shared desire to protect these assets and build upon them so they can be enjoyed by future generations.
The idea of establishing Kalamunda Community Matters grew from this shared vision. Established as a sub fund of Fremantle Foundation, we will pool local generosity to facilitate coordinated investment and grant-making dedicated to meeting the needs of Kalamunda’s communities and organisations. What makes our approach distinctive is a commitment to promoting and mobilising not only Treasure (donations), but also Talent (skills and expertise) and Time (volunteer effort), recognising that building a stronger community requires all three.
Kalamunda Community Matters exists for the residents of the City of Kalamunda, and focuses on identifying and harnessing human, financial and other resources to strengthen the capacity and contributions of individuals, organisations and their networks.
We seek to connect our communities to citizenship and philanthropy to create a caring, engaged and resilient community …forever…by looking forward and giving back
OUR VISION
To create strong and thriving Kalamunda communities where everyone can contribute. Whether through their Treasure (donations), Talent (skills and expertise), or Time (volunteering), we aim to create positive change and leave a legacy for future generations.
OUR PURPOSE
To bring people together to support the causes and projects that matter most to our community, connecting local generosity, skills and volunteer spirit with the opportunities, assets and needs of our community.
OUR VALUES
Integrity – Safe Hands
We act with honesty transparency, and accountability in everything we do. The community trusts us to be careful stewards of their contributions, whether money, skills, or time, and to ensure these resources create genuine, lasting impact
Contribution – Everyone Has Something To Offer
We believe that every person can play a role in strengthening Kalamunda. Whether through financial support, volunteering, or sharing skills and expertise, each contribution matters and helps build a stronger, more connected community.
Inclusion – Diverse Views Produce Better Results
We value and seek out a wide range of perspectives, recognising that the best ideas and solutions emerge when people from different backgrounds and experiences work together
Collaboration – Working Together for Greater Impact
We meaningfully engage with our community, partners, and stakeholders to maximise giving and impact. We know that collective action achieves more than any one group or individual can achieve alone.
Continuous Improvement – Always Striving To Do Better
We reflect on our work, learn from experience, and adapt our approach to meet the changing needs of our community. This ensures we remain relevant, effective and forward-looking in delivering our mission.
