Our inaugural Chair, Jennifer Duncan, is a passionate community advocate who was drawn to the community-led nature of Foundation SA’s work and its unique role as connector, convener and educator.
“I’m passionate about changing systems so that they are fairer and more equitable,” Jennifer says, “and it’s extraordinarily important for people to have agency in the things that affect their lives."

Foundation SA is entering a new era of growth and independence with the installation of our inaugural Board and the roll out of our latest five-year strategy.
With the transition successfully underway to bring all governance and administrative functions to Adelaide, Foundation SA CEO Sophie Doyle says the foundation is ready to step into self-determination.
“Thanks to the support we’ve received over the last five years from our implementation partner and trustee, Australian Communities Foundation, we’re in a very strong position to make the transition to independence. The time is right to make the change with our new five-year strategy setting out the blueprint for the next chapter of our growth and impact as a statewide community foundation.”
