Pollinate Group

Pollinate Group empowers women as leaders of change to distribute household products, such as solar lights and cooking appliances, that improve health, save time and save money for the world’s most neglected communities.

We identify, train and develop local women entrepreneurs who serve hard to reach families living on less than US$1.90 a day. Women entrepreneurs earn respect and meaningful income and act as role models who raise awareness about better product alternatives.

We provide more than business skills and products. We support community activities to position women as leaders and work with each woman’s family to bring them on the journey.

We’ve reached more than 613,000 people across India and Nepal with access to products and empowered more than 650 women to bring positive change in their communities. Our network is committed to reaching the communities nobody else will.

Girls Academy

Girls Academy's purpose, put simply, is to Develop a Girl • Change a Community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and young women face some of the greatest social disadvantage of our nation’s population. This gap appears in health, education, employment opportunities, earning capacity and life span. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women play a pivotal role in their families and communities, yet their needs are often overlooked more than their male counterparts.

A confident, educated girl is an active and productive community member. She is the most influential force in her family and wider community to break the cycle of disadvantage and to build a healthier family, a stronger community, and a brighter future.

SKIP

Chronic pain impacts 1 in 5 Australian children (the same ratio as in adults) meaning over 100,00 Queensland children suffer from this debilitating condition.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has stated that chronic pain is a "...public health concern of major significance." It is one of the most underestimated healthcare problems in the world.

Chronic pain has a significant impact not just on sufferers, but also on the broader community, costing the Australian economy $34.3 billion annually.

In Queensland, adult chronic pain received state funding of $40 million - children received $0. The current system is failing to provide our children with adequate care. Australian kids deserve the best healthcare available.

SKIP is a proud Queensland initiative and unique to Australia. SKIP takes the world's leading outpatient model of care and brings it to Australia.

SKIP provides a multidisciplinary approach to chronic pain management and ensures it is free to all children and their families, regardless of background.

The Thin Green Line Foundation

The Thin Green Line Foundation is the world’s only charity solely dedicated to protecting endangered species and threatened ecosystems by supporting park rangers.

In the past 10 years alone it's estimated that over 1000 park rangers have been killed, 80% of them by commercial poachers and armed militia groups. We provide park rangers with essential anti-poaching equipment and training to assist them in patrolling on the front-line of conservation. We also provide financial support to the widows and orphans of park rangers killed in the line of duty.

Our support is focused on rangers in developing regions, conflict zones and indigenous rangers in Australia and abroad.

The Clontarf Foundation

The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal men and by doing so equips them to participate meaningfully in society.

Since opening its first Academy for 25 boys in 2000 the Foundation has grown to cater for about 3,000 boys in 59 schools across Western Australia, Northern Territory, Victoria and New South Wales.

The Foundation believes that failure to experience achievement when young, coupled with a position of under-privilege can lead to alienation, anger and more serious consequences. As a prelude to tackling these and other issues, participants are first provided with an opportunity to succeed and in turn raise their self-esteem.

The vehicle for achieving this outcome is Australian Rules and/or Rugby League. The Foundation uses the existing passion that Aboriginal boys have for football to attract them into school and keep them there. The programmes are delivered through a network of football academies established in partnership with local schools. Any Aboriginal male enrolled at the school is eligible to participate in the Clontarf Academy.
