Philanthropy is in good health in Byron Bay, with Ingrained Foundation holding a social morning last Wednesday with beneficiaries and donors of their grants program.
A new office space at the former Stone & Wood brewery was also opened, which can be accessed for free by not-for-profit groups.
Human Nature Adventure Therapy directors and Ingrained Foundation also signed a multi-year partnering agreement, which will contribute to enable the organisation to scale up their nature-based mental health programs for young people.
According to humannature.org.au, their core emphasis is on ‘fostering connections and building trust’.
‘We extend our support to some of the most vulnerable youth across the Far North Coast of NSW, providing assistance to those at high risk of dire consequences if they don’t receive the critical help they desperately need’.
Ingrained Foundation Executive Director, Jasmin Daly, told The Echo that one of their key intended outcomes is to increase agency and security of funding so that not-for-profits are supported to be more effective and impactful.
‘We’re excited for this to be the first of hopefully more long-term partnerships to come,’ Jasmin said.
Ingrained Foundation’s annual grants program is opening on March 20.
