5 NEW organisations awarded funding in 2020
In 2020 we awarded seed funding to start up new With One Voice programs to 5 organisations around Australia. They are:
1. Bidwill Uniting – Mt Druitt (NSW)
2. Community Application – Mackay (QLD)
3. Community Connections – Adelaide CBD (SA)
4. Community Application – Shepparton (VIC)
5. Hume Housing – Parramatta (NSW)
Local community groups, social businesses and not-for-profits wanting to promote social inclusion and tackle loneliness, isolation, depression and disadvantage in their community are invited to apply. Additionally, each successful application joins a 12-month intensive mentoring program.
All successful Start-up Grant organisations are located in areas that are culturally and economically diverse and seek to redress balance between those that have and have-not. They provide crucial interventions for all participants and support those directly and indirectly affected by many of life’s challenges.
Most importantly, these organisations recognise how singing in a group can be improve wellbeing, inspire personal growth and transform communities. Each successful applicant must present a strong social franchise offer that we believe will be successful and sustainable.
