Donations to the community through the Geyser Community Foundation have more than doubled for the second year in a row.
In presenting his report at the foundation's annual general meeting last week, chairman Joe La Grouw said donors' generosity had resulted in the foundation having more than doubled its funds under management for the second consecutive financial year.
Funds under management totalled $2,636,795 as at March 31 compared with $1,143,304 at the same time last year.
"It's very satisfying to report that the number of local people embracing the community foundation vision and turning it into a reality has continued to grow," Mr La Grouw said.
He said one of the ways community foundations measured their success was by the number of new endowment funds set up.
