Victoria’s largest LGBTI
advocacy organisation, the ALSO
Foundation, is downsizing and
moving from its City Village office
next week to share a roof with its
Collingwood opportunity shop to
cut costs.
The ALSO Foundation moved
into the Bourke St building in 2008
as part of the City of Melbourne’s
City Village initiative.
But the organisation has
struggled financially in recent
times, posting a $65,900 loss for
the 2010/11 financial year and
leaving it $133,200 in debt.
In March, the foundation was
on the verge of collapse before
it received $136,000 in delayed
emergency funding from ALSO
Care’s Members Resolution Fund.
Themovehaswiderimplications
for the community though, as
several LGBTI community groups
have worked under the auspices
of ALSO’s tenancy.
