Once again, our amazing donors, supporters, and volunteers came together for an unforgettable evening of generosity, connection, and impact. 💛
💥 Headline news:
We pooled enough funds to award THREE transformational Primary Grants of $100,000 each! 🙌
The thoroughly deserving recipients are:
💙 Constable Care – Reel Talk, engaging young people at Banksia Hill Juvenile Detention Centre.
💻 Sam’s Spares – Get One, Give One, selling refurbished tech to gift the same to people in need.
💈 Short Back & Sidewalks – expanding free haircutting services for people experiencing homelessness across Perth Metro.

But wait, there’s more… 😍
At the start of the evening we knew we had enough funds to make those 3 Primary Grants. But there was nothing in the coffers for our other two deserving finalists – and we really didn’t want them to leave empty-handed after all the time and effort they’d invested. So, we turned to the room to see if we could raise a little more – and our guests came through brilliantly!
The Minor Grants started the night at zero and, thanks to incredible generosity in the room, they grew into two grants of $15,000 each! 🎉
These went to our equally inspiring Finalists:
🦋 Busselton Hospice Care
🌈 Transfolk WA
And the magic didn’t stop there…
An anonymous donor was so moved by Transfolk WA’s pitch that they gifted an extra $10,000! 💖 WOW!
We are so proud — and so grateful — to every one of our super-generous donors. You’re creating powerful, positive change right here in WA. 🌟
Huge thanks to:
🙏 our wonderful volunteers
