We were thrilled to bring the TFN LIVE crowdfunding experience to Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) on the 28th September 2022 with our friends at White Box Enterprises and the AMP Foundation. We're still buzzing from the high energy and heartfelt generosity of everyone who participated, both online and in the room! It was a true testament to the power of community and the capacity of social enterprise to deliver impact.
Together, we raised an incredible $222,117 to deliver safe and affordable detox in regional communities, minimise waste and create meaningful job opportunities for refugee women and facilitate the employment of vulnerable young people in Tenterfield.
We're sending a heartfelt thank you to everyone who pledged their support, offered words of encouragement or volunteered their time on the night. An extra special thank you to our long-term event partner the AMP Foundation for their generous $100,000 matched funding on the night and continued support.
Congratulations to Chris, Liz and Marcus for inspiring us with their powerful pitches! There was an outpouring of support for each organisation, and the amounts pledged to each so far are:
