2021 Pitch
Funds Raised: $60,000
Cormach, CEO and Founder of Ngarrimili, pitched at the TFN Virtual event to continue and to expand its existing programs across Victoria. Ngarrrimili plans to do this through a commitment to long term sustainable support to the Victorian First Nations business eco-system through 1:1 business and trauma informed wellbeing support.
The Impact…
In the past 12 months, Ngarrimili was able to expand nationally supporting 32 businesses with a total of 85 hours of personally tailored support and mentoring provided. One of the business owners that was supported was Sue, an Aboriginal woman located in Queensland, who has an artworks business. Sue was able to work with the Ngarrimili team to design, create and launch her website and sell her artworks. Sue was also supported in setting up her ABN and business name, and designing a sustainable business plan- Sue is now making profits and her business is thriving.
