Stand Like Stone
A dynamic community foundation serving the Limestone Coast.
Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another’s trouble, Courage in your own.Adam Lindsay Gordon
Stand Like Stone offers individuals, families, groups, corporations and not-for-profit organisations an easy and satisfying way of giving something of real value back to the community that they care about.
All donations are pooled and invested and as a result of this, the income generated from this investment is used over time to support charitable projects and organisations and to give educational scholarships.
The foundation offers grants for charitable projects benefitting the Limestone Coast and offers educational scholarships to students with a connection to the Limestone Coast.
Stand Like Stone also facilitates projects which contribute to the community in many ways, resulting in both financial and social benefit, such as the Back to School and Stay at School programs.
Our VisionTo inspire community kindness and courage.
Engaging with our community in all its diversity.
Facilitating partnerships that build and strengthen our Limestone Coast community.
We are open, transparent and accountable in all aspects of our operations; we are cost effective and sustainable; we adhere to proper corporate governance and funds management principles.
Valuing and respecting our donors, funding partners and applicants, upholding their dignity and listening actively to their ideas and concerns.
Strengthening our community by increasing the capabilities and resilience of individuals, groups and organisations.

We're delighted to announce that Penola's Doug Balnaves and Mount Gambier's Brian Page have joined Dr Sue Charlton AM as the three Patrons of Stand Like Stone 💛🖤💛
Stand Like Stone has been honoured previously to have the patronage of both Allan Scott and then Ray Scott, and are grateful to have the support, endorsement and advocacy of Doug, Brian and Sue.
Brian and his wife Sue are recognised as our founding donors, having established scholarships benefiting a variety of schools right across the region.
Doug has also had a long association with the foundation, as his late wife Annette was a passionate advocate, director and active contributor.
Sue was the inaugural Chair of the foundation leading us for 10 years, as well as being a founding member of Australian Community Philanthropy, a group established to represent the interests of community foundations right across Australia.
On behalf of the team at Stand Like Stone we'd like to say thank you for your support of our foundation and the Limestone Coast ❤️
And a big thankyou to Christy at With Love Photography for the photos ⭐️

Isn't our Limestone Coast community amazing ❤️
Great work and thank you Spare ya Change 4 Kids 🙌⭐️When times are tough, this community never ceases to amaze us here at SYC4K. With the recent lockdown placed on us all, and everything seeming a little grim, somethings happen that make us smile. In saying this, we would like to give a massive shout out to the awesome guys & girls from Mount Gambier Hotel and the crew from Natural Born Grillers. They gave us a call today and offered to donate left over stock that they can’t use so that we can continue to help kids in this community that may be going without even more so over the next six days. Thank you so much!! And don’t forget, when this is all over please return the love to these guys who stepped up when it counted, and made a difference, from us here at SYC4K and from the kids, THANK YOU!!❤️❤️❤️
