Community Asset Building
Community Finance
is just as the name suggests, finance for the community. Community Finance focuses on channelling
capital into underserved markets that would have difficulty securing finance
from mainstream financial institutions.
Foresters Community
Finance has been delivering finance to the community sector for over fifteen
years. Mainly finance has been used to
build the assets of Third and Fourth Sector organisations. These
assets include buildings which have been used to deliver community services,
residential properties which have been used to deliver affordable housing and
equipment finance to support the growth of social enterprise and social
businesses.

Finance Terms and Conditions please contact our office on 07 3257 3166.
Community Asset Building Appraisals
A Community Asset Building Appraisal provides Third and Fourth Sector organisations with an
overview of their financial position in relation to securing funds to purchase
assets. This assessment is the starting
point for most of our work with Third and Fourth Sector Organisations. At the end of the assessment you and your
organisation will know if you can access finance, what the finance conditions
are and the options for securing an
asset for the long term. For more information about this service please see of
our information sheet on Community Asset Building Appraisals.
Planning for
Asset Acquisition
At Foresters
Community Finance we work with Third and Fourth Sector organisations at various
stages in their consideration of asset development. Some organisations have identified a property
that they want to purchase other are just exploring possibilities. We encourage management to consider how an
asset could help to achieve their organisation’s social mission through
discussion and planning across all levels of their organisation. Please call us to arrange a facilitated planning
session for asset acquisition. For more
information please see our information sheet on Planning for Asset Acquisition.
Community Capital
Raising and Asset Acquisition
Foresters
Community Finance is in the business of raising capital for social
purposes. One of the ways that we do
this is to engage actively with the community sector to raise capital for asset
building through the networks of Third and Fourth Sector Organisations. We deliver a comprehensive set of services to
achieve this goal – talk with us about how we might work with you.

Community Finance will also manage the asset acquisition process including
contract negotiation and due diligence.
