About us

Eltham Community Foundation Ltd 

Eltham Community Foundation (ECF) was established in 2006 as a community based non-profit Company, Limited by Guarantee. To clarify, non-profit companies are basically the same as NSW Incorporated Associations. ECF’s ABN is 46119723205 and has currently 31 members.

Our Goals

Our main aims are to:

  • Maintain heritage and environmental assets within the Village eg Railway Cottage
  • Initiate development of community infrastructure e.g. parks and cycleways
  • Initiate events and projects such as film nights or markets
  • Support Eltham Public School

Membership & Meetings

ECF Membership Form

Membership is open to everyone and our membership annual fee is $2. If you’d like to become a member, please complete our Membership FormOur meetings are held 6pm at the Eltham Pub, usually in the dining room. Dates can vary, but will be posted on our front-page Notice Board.

Activities:

ECF has been primarily active in saving Eltham Railway Cottage by:

  • Devoting considerable time negotiating with Transport for NSW in an effort to obtain a lease and therefore safely secure the Cottage.
  • Undertaking community activities that also fund the Cottage lease and restoration. These activities include Eltham Film Night, Eltham Pub Raffles and Bunnings BBQ.

Volunteers Welcome:

Our volunteer-run Film Nights have been operating for many years and it’s hoped the event will continue into the future. Meanwhile, other work focuses on the Railway Cottage situation. New volunteers are always welcome, so if you can spare a little time please contact us.
