Inspire donors to invest in sustainable change on the Mornington Peninsula
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.
