Brain Tumour Support service

We partner with Austin Health and fund this unique service. 

“It is now at the forefront of supportive care service provision for people with a primary malignant brain tumour, playing a pivotal role in the landscape of brain tumour supportive care throughout Victoria and Australia.  The on-going commitment of the JCMF has made these developments possible.”

- Di Legge, BTSs Coordinator
 

Community Sport – bringing communities together

The Cummo Fund is committed to facilitating kids from disadvantaged areas to participate in team sports.

Lohy’s Legends

We partner with Cricket Victoria to fund cricket clinics for kids in the Northern Metro region.

“We are finding sport a great vehicle for bringing diverse communities together and introducing children to cricket”. 

- Daniel Trevillian, Regional Manager, Cricket Victoria

North Heidelberg Sporting Club

Our annual grants support organized team sport in the local community.  Our 2019 grant of $3,500 facilitated match-day jumpers for the junior girls football team.

Dare to Dream – supporting promising young people

We provide grants to schools and community organizations targeting students who benefit from additional support to stay connected with their studies.  A recent grant was for a Homework Club for newly-arrived refugees in Caroline Springs.

Our annual scholarship program supports secondary students experiencing disadvantage to strive to reach their goals.  Up to $1,000 is provided to assist with educational expenses.

Note our emphasis in future will be on grants for educational programs rather than individual scholarships.
