The HCF is a perpetual fund. The earnings on the principal are distributed to charities in Hume, to assist them in carrying out projects that benefit the Hume community. 

The HCF seeks donations from Hume residents, businesses, service clubs and other donors, to increase the investment fund. Your donation to the HCF directly supports some of our most vulnerable community members across Hume and assists local charitable organisations to continue to deliver support and welfare services to those who need it most.
