The story of the Bakers Dozen Social Justice Fund is one of learning to be generous – providing 13 loaves instead of 12.

The Bakers Dozen Social Justice Fund has the twin aims of growing community generosity and building a more equitable community in the Inner North of Melbourne, the municipal areas of Darebin, Moreland and Yarra.

It provides a vehicle for those living and working in the Inner North to contribute collectively to investing in transformational and sustainable change in community capacity and resilience.

The Bakers Dozen Social Justice Fund has been established through a bequest left by Dr Christopher Baker and Ms Kerri Hall. Christopher and Kerri were passionate about the role of philanthropy in creating fairer and more inclusive communities, particularly for their community in Melbourne’s Inner North.

The Bakers Dozen Social Justice Fund is a named fund of the Inner North Community Foundation. The Foundation manages philanthropic dollars to provide funds for local projects that create prosperous, connected, and cohesive communities in Melbourne’s Inner North. It is an independent philanthropic body and is governed by a volunteer board consisting of people with strong connections in the three municipalities.
