Meet our sponsors and supporters
Our wonderful supporters allow us to put disadvantaged locals on a path to financial independence through employment. We are endlessly grateful to the individuals and organisations who embrace our mission and help fund these goals.
Sponsors
Hunter Adults Financial Collaborative Inc. receives valuable support from its sponsors, who contribute significantly to our education, mentoring and training initiatives.
Our sponsors make our services and programs possible. Our education and training programs supported by our sponsors prepares unemployed isolated and at-risk adults to gain some form of employment.
These valued sponsors ranging from large corporations to local community groups and enterprises, each play a unique role in our network. Their contributions—whether financial, in-kind, or through volunteering—help us deliver innovative programs.
We are proud to collaborate with organizations who share our passion for community development and empowerment. To further strengthen these partnerships, we regularly reach out to our sponsors to share stories of impact, express appreciation, and explore new ways to work together. By maintaining open lines of communication and recognizing each sponsor’s contributions, we cultivate lasting relationships that benefit both our organization and those we serve.
The Ian and Shirley Norman Foundation’s generosity has enabled us to place a number of people in long-term employment and start multiple businesses.
They are an amazing organisation, you can read more about other projects they support here https://isnfoundation.org.au/partners/.
