More about APF
The Amplify Pride Fund (APF) is a national fund created by GiveOUT and Aurora, with support from the Snow Foundation and a strong core of community donors.
Guided by GiveOUT and Aurora’s research report “Where are the Rainbow Resources?”.
The Amplify Pride Fund focuses on:
- Marginalised LGBTIQ+ communities in Australia
- Building the capacity of Australian LGBTIQ+ community organisations
- Providing larger, flexible and more sustainable funding than ever before
- A simple and supported application process!
- Opportunities for non-financial support in-house and through our networks
Amplify Pride Funds can be used for:
- Operational and core activities including organisational capacity building
- Program delivery, with a focus on innovative solutions, prevention and early intervention
- Sector capacity building and collaboration
- Advocacy
If we are to tackle the challenges and barriers still facing vulnerable members of the LGBTIQ+ community in Australia - poorer mental health, isolation, homelessness, and social and economic marginalisation - we must adequately resource and increase the capacity of the LGBTIQ+ organisations best placed to support them.
APF exists to support LGBTIQ+ organisations across the country to thrive and grow. It provides these organisations larger, more sustainable grants than they have previously had access to through a LGBTIQ+ community-led and designed process tailored to their needs.
