Living Report — First Cut

The Multicultural Settlement Sector

22 Organisations · $0 Revenue · 0% From One Funder

Australia's ethnic communities councils form a federation of 22 organisations spanning every state. They run settlement services, multicultural advocacy, and community programs. They share directors, programs, and dependencies. Across the entire cluster, philanthropic donations totalled $0 — about NaN% of revenue. The other 99%+ comes from government.

The Funder-Concentration Cliff

ACNC Annual Information Statement, latest year per entity. Government share = revenue_from_government ÷ total_revenue. Entities marked CRITICAL collapse if their primary funder withdraws.

Entity	State	Total Revenue	Govt $	Donations	Govt %	Tier

Geelong ECC shows 0% government in AIS but holds $1.0M in AusTender — a known AIS-coding gap where Settlement Services contracts get classified as “fees from goods/services”. FECCA has no AIS row in the source data — separate data-quality issue flagged.

§2

The People Who Hold The Network Together

0 directors sit on 2+ boards inside or adjacent to the cluster. The federation runs on overlapping governance: state councils elect FECCA directors, who hold seats across regional, religious, and disability networks.

Cross-system $ touched by these directors via their full board portfolios — not just cluster boards. Procurement = AusTender contracts to entities they govern; Justice = justice_funding to those entities.

Where The Money Comes From — Visible Slice

Only 0 of 22 entities have visible Commonwealth contracts in AusTender. The other entities' government revenue lives in DSS Community Grants Hub, GrantConnect awards, and state-level grants (DFFH, VMC, DPC) — none of which are currently ingested. Closing this gap is the deep-research priority.

What We Can't See Yet

Gap 1

VIC Awarded Grants

ECCV's $1.65M government revenue is invisible at program level. Need VMC, DFFH, DPC awarded-grants registers. Table built (vic_grants_awarded); waiting on CSVs.

Gap 2

GrantConnect Awards

18 of 22 entities have $0 in AusTender — their Commonwealth funding likely flows through GrantConnect (DSS Settlement, Community Grants Hub). Ingest script ready; needs fresh weekly export CSV.

Gap 3

FECCA AIS Missing

FECCA is a Large ACNC charity but has no rows in our 360K-row AIS table. Either a sync miss or a reporting-status edge case. Worth a one-shot enrichment pass.

Next Moves

Drop VMC + DFFH + DPC grant register CSVs into data/vic-grants-awarded/ → run import-vic-grants-awarded.
Re-download GrantConnect weekly export → run ingest-grantconnect.
Run bridge-funding-relationships --apply to push both into gs_relationships for graph visualisation.
Re-run this report. Section 3 (Where The Money Comes From) goes from 4 visible entities to ~22.
