The Funding Network

The Funding Network (TFN) serves as a catalyst and amplifier for grassroot organisations, empowering them to expand their impact and thrive. By fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth, TFN elevates these organisations and bring attention to their successes, inspiring others to get involved and support their missions.

In order to further support the NFP Sector and spread impact to more grassroots NFPs, the Foundation formed a partnership with TFN in FY24.

The partnership allows TFN to build the capacity of their current offering to their alumni organisations, including ongoing connection and professional development support. In addition, Foundation funding will potentially allow TFN the opportunity to work with the “runners up” their events; those unable to be selected for profiling but still deemed exceptionally high quality by the assessment panel.

In FY24 funding for Are They Triple Okay? is continuing to create resources that promote social support both at work and home, including case studies that reach “beyond the uniform” to help break down stigma within emergency services, increase social support and encourage conversations. Additional focus will also be directed at wider external promotion to reach volunteers and friends and family of emergency service workers and frontline responders.

“Are They Triple OK?” Champions will be nurtured through feedback from research and supported by a dedicated Champions Guide, with the learnings potentially applied to other campaign settings.
And R U OK? capacity building in regional and rural areas is being strengthened, through connecting with local organisations, suicide prevention networks and established community infrastructure via hosting “Locals Know Best” workshops. This commitment to “whole of community” responses is critical as the rate of suicide in rural Australia is growing more rapidly than that of cities, particularly as rural residents face repeated stresses due to droughts, floods, and bushfires on top of increased cost of living pressures.
