Community organisations deserve a better funding pathway

Community-led organisations across Australia keep people safe, housed and supported. They respond to homelessness, women’s safety, mental health and cost-of-living pressure every day.

But too many still can’t access the funding they need. They are often too small for institutional investors, too complex for standard lending, and too reliant on short-term grants to plan ahead.

This moonshot goal will directly address this gap.

What $500 million can do

Combining capital sources into highly effective impact stacks

This $500 million will reach at least 1,000 community-led organisations by 2030, particularly those groups that traditional finance overlooks. Based on current demand, the funding will back work across:

  • 37% homelessness and affordable housing

  • 20% thriving communities

  • 14% women's safety

  • 13% mental health

  • 10% jobs for disadvantaged people

Sefa brings philanthropy, government and private capital together into impact stacks that match how organisations actually grow:

  • Blended capital: we combine funding from different sources into one deal, so the risk is shared and more capital flows.

  • Sequenced capital: we use early funding to help an organisation get ready, then bring in private capital once the model is proven.

  • Syndicated capital: we coordinate investors to back a deal alongside us, staying involved to keep it on track.

The aim is simple: get the right capital to the right organisations, on terms that work, at the moment it matters most.
