Fostering the youth of Hepburn Shire.
It began with a simple goal.
When Jim and Norma Foster moved to the Daylesford region, they searched for a local charity with clear goals, strong governance and minimal overheads. When they couldn’t find one, they started their own. Since 2018, The Daylesford Foundation has provided over 10,000 instances of support and invested more than $1.2 million across Hepburn Shire.
