Established as a not-for- profit organisation in June 2002, at the time of IOOF’s demutualisation, the IOOF Foundation recognises the historical origins of IOOF and the important role it has played in the Australian community since 1846.  The IOOF Foundation takes its role as the charity vehicle for the IOOF group very seriously and is dedicated to making an ongoing commitment to the community in which we live. The Foundation achieves this by  allocation of time and effort to research  potential grant recipients and providing  grants in line with our grant policy  that supports Australian not-for-profit  organisations that work in the following areas: For over 59 years Carinya Society has  provided accommodation, adult day  programs and support services to  advance the independence, dignity, self-worth and human rights of people  with intellectual disabilities. With the  Foundation’s support, Carinya was able to purchase a Toyota Hiace Bus. Grant $20,000 Established in 1960, Catholic Homes  is a not-for-profit group focused on  providing independent living units to  those who are financially disadvantaged;  Catholic Homes provides fully integrated  residential aged care to more than 1,000  seniors. With the grant received they  have installed 3 automatic doors that will  enable residents with mobility problems  – to easily access the outdoor courtyards.  Grant $15,480 Frontier Services is the largest provider  of aged and community care in remote  Australia and delivers a wide range of critical services including health care,  children’s services, community support  and remote ministry. Numbala Nunga is a 26-bed culturally appropriate aged  care facility based in Derby, WA. Run by Frontier Services, it caters primarily for  indigenous Australians. The Foundation  covered the project cost to expand the  veranda into a large decked area covering  the dirt courtyard, giving all residents  access to an expansive outdoor area. Grant $21,600 Established by the Good Shepherd   sisters in 1976, the organisation works for Victoria’s most vulnerable  young people and families. The  Foundation has supported the Driver  Education program since 2009 and the grant for an additional car will double the hours available for learners. Grant $20,500 When established the IOOF Foundation  received nearly two million shares in IOOF Holdings to fund its activities, the Foundation has now gifted over $8 million to over 140 organisations. In 2011 more than $900,000 was granted  to not-for-profit organisations. 2011-12 Grant Recipients  Frontier Services Carinya Society Catholic Homes for the Elderly  Good Shepherd Youth & Family Service •  Aged care  •  Disadvantage families; •  Disadvantaged children and youth.  page 18
