Grant Recipients
In 2026, we awarded grants to the following organisations that have a real impact on the wellbeing of vulnerable Australians.
Arise Foundation
Arise Foundation is a not for profit organisation providing employment readiness programs to female survivors of domestic and family violence. Arise Foundation breaks the cycle of homelessness and intergenerational violence and reduces the risk of returning to abusive relationships by equipping women with the skills and confidence to attain financial security and independence through employment. Recognising that employment is just one part of recovery, they offer access to wraparound support services in partnership with trusted community organisations. This ensures women have the mental health, housing, financial and wellbeing support they need to thrive in and beyond work.

The Torch Project
The Torch is a First Nations-led not-for-profit that works with First Nations people with lived experience of incarceration. We centre the role of art, culture and cultural identity in supporting participants to find new pathways beyond the criminal legal system. Each artwork created through The Torch is part of a personal journey, reflecting the stories individual artists choose to share in their own voice and style. Every artwork sold through The Torch is a step towards securing financial self-determination. We do not take a commission: 100% of the artwork price goes directly to the artist.
