Our vision is for communities to be leading their futures grounded in connection, culture, identity and collective care.
Our purpose is to resource community determined responses to complex challenges. By this we mean:
Resourcing encompasses support beyond funding.
Community determined centres people with lived experience and community members as the experts in their own lives.
Responses speaks to broader actions than project implementation like contributing to knowledge or building an evidence base for a new response.
Complex challenges recognises the social and cultural determinants that impact mental health and wellbeing and the interconnected systems these operate within.
We are a principles based Foundation, meaning our principles underpin everything we do and guide our work. Our principles are active and embedded in the structure of our organisation. We use our principles to measure and evaluate our impact, to inform when, where and how we grant and most importantly, to influence how we show up as partners.
Over the next seven years this is where we will be investing our time, resources, relationships and networks. Our Strategy was developed with our partners and members of the community, identifying where there is a role for the Foundation to contribute to developing the conditions for community to lead their wellbeing futures across three Strategic Pillars, learn more here.
