Into Our Hands Community Foundation (IOHCF) is seeking expressions of interest from passionate, community-minded individuals as they open recruitment for a board director to join their professional, voluntary board.
Established in 2012 in the aftermath of the Black Saturday bushfires, IOHCF is an independent community foundation covering the local government areas on Alpine, Indigo and Mansfield shires, and Rural City of Wangaratta.
In partnership with the community and IOHCF subfunds, IOHCF has supported more than 250 local organisations with over $1.65 million in grants since 2012.
These grants have helped fund local charitable initiatives as decided by the community including support for young people, food security, emergency services, and bringing neighbours together in meaningful ways.
IOHCF chair, Matt Joyce, said the board supports the foundation’s mission to enable the North East region and its communities to harness their own resources and build their own futures.

"If you care about the region and want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you,” he said.
Mr Joyce said IOHCF is particularly interested in people with experience in areas such as strategy and business development, community engagement and impact evaluation, philanthropy and grant-making, or investment and financial management - but most importantly, someone who believes in the power of philanthropy, connection and community.
Board members contribute around 5-10 hours a month, including attending monthly meetings and supporting subcommittee work.
Expressions of interest close Monday, 10 November.
