Future2 Foundation announces 2024 grant winners, organisations empowering financial wellbeing

The Future2 Foundation, the foundation of the financial services professional, has
announced the recipients of its 2024 Grant Program. This year’s program focuses on
improving financial wellbeing for Australians in need, with 12 grants awarded across four
key categories.

Julie Berry, chair of the Future2 Foundation, said the Foundation is proud to support 12
outstanding organisations that are working hard to improve the financial wellbeing of
Australians in need.

“Our mission is to build stronger financial futures for all Australians because we know that
improving financial wellbeing makes a real difference to people’s lives. These grants will
help empower individuals and communities to achieve greater financial stability and
independence,” she said.

Through its annual Make the Difference! Grants program, Future2 has committed $1.6
million in grant funding to over 170 community programs since 2007.

On top of these grants, the Future2 x AIA Australia People’s Choice Award has opened, with
the public invited to vote for their favourite cause on the Future2 website. The winning
organisation will receive an additional $5,000 for its program. Voting opens on 12
November and runs until 3 December 2024.

The 12 grants were awarded across four catergories:

1. Financial wellbeing for women. Financial literacy programs for disadvantaged
   women in Australia.
2. Financial wellbeing for young Australians. Financial literacy and education programs
   for people under 25.
3. Financial wellbeing for Australians in need. Financial literacy programs for
   Australians in need including those experiencing mental health, social isolation,
   domestic violence, homelessness or poverty, or for First Nations and refugee or
   migrant communities.
4. Financial wellbeing for those in regional and remote Australia. Programs that
   support financial literacy in regional and remote Australia.

“We wish to extend our gratitude to our strategic partner, AIA Australia, for their
unwavering support of Future2’s mission and their commitment to making a difference in
communities across Australia,” said Mrs. Berry.

We also wish to acknowledge and thank Tangelo Advice Consulting for their ongoing
generosity. In addition, we are deeply grateful to the dedicated committees around the
country who work tirelessly to raise funds and support Future2’s initiatives. Their passion
and hard work are instrumental in helping us make a lasting impact.”
