SMALL GRANTS
In July 2017 GHF Directors committed to funding the running costs of the newly formed Mornington Peninsula Foundation so that 100% of donations to the MPF are distributed to the community. This forms the bulk of GHF philanthropic support although some discretionary projects will continue to be funded in addition to this support of MPF.
