At our milestone 100th event on Thursday 25 June together we pledged over $250,000 for three deserving grassroots organisations, with a surprise additional donation of $25, 000 to The Funding Network!
We were so pleased to partner with AMP Foundation for this special event. As a founding partner, AMP Foundation has played an invaluable role in TFN’s success and has supported us over many years.
To celebrate 100 events, AMP generously provided $100,000 in matched funding!
