Focus Areas

We were established for the benefit of all South Australians, so we work to build relationships and fund widely outside of the metro area. Our Town, our biggest initiative is a regional project in six communities across the state. We also work in a way that delivers on many of the best practices being talked about in philanthropy. We fund capability development and early-stage idea development and testing. In some cases we provide long-term and unrestricted funding.

We were established with a broad remit to support the health and wellbeing of the South Australian community and we pursue this through three main focus areas.

Mental Health & Wellbeing

We adopt a holistic approach to mental health that is strength-based and focusses on wellbeing. We want to centre prevention by building individual and community capability to support each other, in turn building better mental health and wellbeing for the South Australian community.

First Nations Led Health Funding

We are working alongside Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) across South Australia to engage community in determining a funding model where Aboriginal people make the decisions over how philanthropic funding into health and wellbeing across our state is spent.

Practice & Collaboration

Complex social challenges aren’t solved in silos, so we focus on bringing people together, shining a light on good work, and de-risking innovative community-led responses. At the same time, we are working to improve our own philanthropic practice and advocate for others to do the same.

Our Grants
Our mental health and wellbeing grants are designed to support preventative, community-based responses that support mental wellbeing.
