MCFCO is a not-for-profit organisation and each year the voluntary Committee of Management needs to organise fundraising initiatives to pay for educational and social activities for the children, learning environment enhancements (i.e. toys, books, equipment) and staff awards. While Monash University provided significant funds to establish our fantastic Centre, we rely on parental contributions to meet the needs of our children and make sure our Centre remains wonderful.
