Cornwell is committed to supporting organisations that contribute to Melbourne's cultural and economic landscape. Our support of programs such the Melbourne Prize Trust, The City Library, Creativity Australia, Australia Cares, TAFE Media Art and Design Association, Lorne Sculpture, the Melbourne Forum, the Committee for Melbourne, Melbourne Fringe and Melbourne Open House have contributed to the viability and long-term success of these important initiatives. While they all benefit from our involvement, making a positive contribution to the community rewards us equally.

Melbourne Open House

Melbourne Open House celebrates Melbourne's architecture and design. Through the open house program, MOH promotes a greater understanding of Melbourne's built environment, culminating in the Annual Melbourne Open House weekend. Since its inception in 2008 the latest program in 2010 attracted a staggering 70,000 visitors.

Your donations will help create the 4th Annual MOH Weekend to be held July 2011.

Committee For Melbourne

As staunch Melburnians we proudly support the vision and leadership of the Committee for Melbourne. Acting as one of the Guardians of Brand Image Melbourne, founded 25 years ago, the Committee is an apolitical organisation that looks strategically at issues that impact the city beyond the short-term electoral cycles. The Committee brings together Melbourne's most influential businesses and organisations to work corroboratively to enhance Melbourne - economically, socially and environmentally. As the creators of the new brand identity we continue to provide pro bono support in communications, digital, and future focus group initiatives like the Melbourne Prize and Melbourne Open House.

IP Program

We have a long association with Swinburne's Industry Placement (IP) program. It is an important step in bridging the gap between education and industry. The IP program gives third year design students the opportunity to spend a year working in a design studio. And we make sure they get experience. While students are mentored by our Design team they are given real projects such as Melbourne Open House and The Melbourne Prize to design, manage and execute from concept to completion.
