Focus areas
The Purpose Fund giving circle supports initiatives voted by members in three key areas
Thriving Minds
Community programs tackling the youth mental health crises, improving the overall wellbeing of our young people.
Thriving Communities
Initiatives addressing family and domestic violence that empower local communities to design and lead their own prevention and intervention efforts.
Thriving Ecosystems
Grassroots organisations working to protect and restore their local natural environments through conservation efforts.
How our giving circle works
The Purpose Loop
Funds are pooled
Membership joins forces with others. Together, we build collective giving power and create a shared fund for impact.
Nominating
We’ll invite you to suggest organisations or projects. Organisations can also submit themselves for consideration via a brief EOI form. From there we assess alignment with our focus areas and giving values.
Shortlisting
Organisations are reviewed by a volunteer committee and other research and due diligence is taken care of behind the scenes, ending up in a shortlist.
Community voting
Members vote on a small shortlist and choose where the collective money will go.
Giving
We announce the selected organisation(s) and distribute the grant(s) by 30 June each year.
Repeat
We reflect on what we’ve learned, share the impact created from the grant and begin the next giving cycle together.
