The vision of the Hobsons Bay Community Fund (HBCF) to ‘benefit and strengthen the community of Hobsons Bay for present and future generations’ has never felt more meaningful than right now. The impact of COVID-19 on our professional and personal lives, our friendships, families and communities is unprecedented in our lifetime. Their focus with the annual HBCF grants programs remains on providing grants for activities that contributed to making our local community fair, inclusive and vibrant.
