"This is a real opportunity to target the areas that just don't quality for other funding and that would otherwise go unfunded," Mr Campbell said. "It can be funding to maintain existing programs and covering costs, as well as launching new initiatives. We have a particular board that's set up with volunteers in combination with our branch managers, with specific criteria, governance, and rigour around the application process." That involved visiting applicant sites and talking to community groups to make sure that the foundation aligns "the dollars with the worthy causes", he said, "We've all got a responsibility to contribute positively in the areas we operate, particularly in those areas not well served by the government or not-for-profit sectors," Mr Campbell said. "Some of the areas we have been targeting include marginalised communities such as people who have experienced domestic violence, First Nations people, and those supported by community mental health programs."
