Congratulations to the four organisations who pitched; One Voice, Dandelion Support Network, Fair Game and LifeCircle. This invitation-only AMP event, hosted by the AMP Foundation, featured the organisations who were too big for AMP's Tomorrow Fund individual grants program, but just right for TFN.
See photos from the event and watch the pitches.
Collectively, the audience gave $94,194 to support these important social organisations. Match funding was provided up to $10,000 per project by The AMP Foundation.
