We firmly believe that ANYONE can lead.  Since Leadership Fiji’s inception there have been many community projects carried out by our LF participants and Alumni (LFA) members, benefitting many different areas and communities in Fiji to help create a better society.

The Leadership (Fiji) Foundation Committee which is a sub-committee of the Leadership Fiji Board was set up to receive, manage and facilitate life-changing community developments for Fiji’s communities.  The Committee is run by a group of Alumni appointed initially by the Leadership Fiji Board, who have a set of guidelines that govern their role and responsibilities.

The objectives of the Leadership (Fiji) Foundation is to:

• Receive and manage funding from organizations, donors, aid funds, past LF year groups’ and individuals to enable life-changing community developments by making a positive social impact for Fiji’s communities through the use of LFA members talent and skills to:
  • Empower communities to be self-sufficient; and
  • Facilitate in the development of community-based projects.
• Provide scholarships for disadvantaged developing leaders to participate in Leadership Fiji programs.
• Offer continued development opportunities for LF Alumni members.

The expectations for the Leadership (Fiji) Foundation are that it connects Leadership Fiji, the LF Alumni and other leaders for ongoing development, reflection on issues, peer support, and connectedness to encourage one of our three pillars, i.e. Leadership Impact in Fiji’s communities. The other two pillars for Leadership Fiji are Leadership Development (LF’s core area of service and programs) and the Leadership Network (our 400+ Alumnus).

The Leadership (Fiji) Foundation is now receiving applications for funding in the following areas; Child Development, Education, Food & Nutrition, Animal Protection, Development and Protection of Women and families, Leadership Training, Promoting Democracy, Free exchange of ideas/knowledge and Sustainable Community Environmental Projects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
