Our Community is an Australian social entrepreneurship body set up to build capacity in Australia's 600,000 community groups and grantmaking bodies.
In 2009, Our Community launched a cloud-based grants management administration software tool that is used by local, state and federal government, philanthropic and corporate grantmakers to receive applications and manage their funding programs.
[citation needed] The company was founded in 2000 by Denis Moriarty, its current managing director, who received a Centenary Medal in recognition for establishing Our Community.
It is chaired by prominent social investor and Reserve Bank of Australia member Carol Schwartz AO.
In 2007, Our Community was named the winner of the "Cool Company" Social Capitalist Award,[2] where the organisation was described as a "deeply noble enterprise."
