The Funding Network Hybrid Live Crowdfunding Event

About the Event

We are thrilled to announce that TFN will hold a special crowdfunding event in association with the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) conference in September. This hybrid event will be held in front of a live audience and streamed virtually on the 28th of September between 6:15 pm – 7:30 pm AEST. In the spirit of giving, we will showcase the inspirational work of three grassroots social enterprises changing the lives of Australians today.

  • BackTrack Works- facilitating the employment of vulnerable young people.

  • Clean State Clinic- supporting Australians to safely undergo alcohol detox from home.

  • Loop Upcycling- Australia’s first corporate upcycling company.

Tickets for the in-person event in Brisbane are available to purchase through SEWF here. You can find them under the Fringe Events section.

A big thank you to our long-time event partner the AMP Foundation for generously providing matched funding to ensure every donation goes even further.
