Inspire donors to invest in sustainable change on the Mornington Peninsula

On the Mornington Peninsula people live side by side, but worlds apart.

Despite its wealth and abundance, the Mornington Peninsula has some of the highest rates of socio-economic disadvantage in the State. 
It’s been this way for generations.

MPF uses place-based strategic philanthropy to address root causes of social inequity leading to generational change.
