Collaboration & Grant-Making Program
At eCharity Australia, we believe that working together multiplies impact. Through our Collaboration & Grant-Making Program, we partner with other charities, social enterprises, and community organizations to fund initiatives that align with our mission of supporting vulnerable Australians.
Why Support This Program
- Many small organizations lack the resources to fully implement programs for homelessness, mental health, legal aid, or education.
- By distributing grants and fostering partnerships, we ensure funding reaches where it is most effective.
- Collaboration helps avoid duplication, share expertise, and scale impact nationally.
