Whether you joined us online or in the room, thank you for being a part of our celebration of collective giving at TFN Virtual & Live Sydney! With pledges that continued to come in late into the night, together we raised $225,000 (and counting!) for three inspiring AMP Tomorrow Makers leading innovative social programs in Indigenous education, veterinarian social work and women’s economic safety.
A special thank you to our long-time partner the AMP Foundation for their generous matched funding and support, as well as our AMP colleagues who helped make last night’s event possible.
Finally, thank you and congratulations to Bronwyn, Alicia and Rebecca for inviting us all to experience – and support – the life-changing work you do.
The amounts pledged to each organisation so far are:
Enrise: $73,100
Cherished Pets: $69,800
The Centre for Women’s Economic Safety: $82,100
If you haven't already, please fulfil your pledge. If you need assistance, don't hesitate to email us.
Please note that 10% of funds raised is retained by TFN in agreement with the NFPs pitching as a contribution to our operational costs.
