Nominations for our 2026 giving round
Member contributions are pooled and we’re now inviting members to suggest and nominate organisations or projects from charities that we could invite to be part of our first giving round. This is one part in The Purpose Loop - which is the process we take for our giving circle.
From there, we assess alignment and invite certain organisations to submit EOIs for funding before asking members to vote on a final shortlist.
Members are invited to submit ideas for small (under $1m annual revenue) organisations working across our three focus areas.
Thriving Minds (early intervention initiatives and community programs tackling the youth mental health crises)
Thriving Communities (initiatives addressing family and domestic violence, empowering local communities to design and lead their own prevention efforts).
Thriving Ecosystems (grassroots organisations working to protect and restore their local natural environments through conservation efforts).
Please submit by using the below form or emailing us at hello@thepurposefund.com, by Friday 10 April below.

To be considered for our giving round, organisations or projects need to:
Have DGR 1 status (or be auspiced by an organisation with this)

Don’t worry if you’re unsure - please submit the organisation or project anyways and we’ll take care of assessing eligibility.
