CCT funding for Indigenous community organisations in the Bega Valley

The Bega Valley region is anchored by Mumbulla Foundation, a community foundation declared as a Community Charity Trust under the Feb 2026 ministerial declaration. Mumbulla's purposes include supporting Aboriginal community organisations across the Bega Valley and Yuin country — the CCT designation lets them deploy directly to non-DGR community-controlled organisations under Path B.

The instrument

Community Charity Trust operator-led deployment (Path B)

CCT funds an Asset Deployment Vehicle (ADV) which procures and transfers assets to a non-DGR delivery partner under CADA. Asset transfers GST-free under s 38-250.

How it cycles

Step 1

CCT funds ADV

Community Charity Trust funds an Asset Deployment Vehicle which holds the asset.

Step 2

ADV deploys via CADA

The ADV transfers the asset to the non-DGR delivery partner under a Charitable Asset Deployment Agreement. GST-free under s 38-250.

Step 3

Recovery to CCT

Voluntary contribution recovers principal back to the CCT corpus, ready for next deployment.

Why this audience

Why Indigenous community organisations carry this structural problem

Traditional grants flow through DGR-only channels; many community-controlled orgs are non-DGR by design and are blocked from the standard funder set.

DGR profile: Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations are non-DGR — the CCT pathway is the structural fix.

Declared as a Community Charity Trust under the Treasury Laws Amendment (Support for Small Business and Charities) Act 2024 and the subsequent ministerial declarations. CCTs hold DGR Item 1 status, can deploy capital to non-DGR delivery partners under CADA, and can build corpus.
