Roots of Change is a storytelling platform dedicated to the Alumni community of The Funding Network Australia. Here we share their stories of ingenuity, courage, determination, spirit, growth and the impact these grassroots organisations have had, as a direct result of funds and support received from The Funding Network community.

Rainbow Families

Rainbow Families

Rainbow Families is the voice for and champion of LGBTQ+ families and prospective parents. The organisation advocates on behalf of the community, as a strong and consistent voice for LGBTQ+ families to address discrimination, raise awareness and promote acceptance.

Rainbow Families provides support and resources and hosts events that connect LGBTQ+ families, particularly those that are feeling isolated because of social pressures, financial difficulty or where they live.


2020 Pitch

Funds Raised: $50,300

Executive Officer Ashley Scott pitched at TFN Virtual Rainbow for funding to provide support to new LGBTQ+ parents who turn to Rainbow Families every week, particularly those who are feeling isolated because of COVID-19, social pressures, financial difficulty or where they live.

The funds have been used over the past year to employ a project coordinator to develop the program which had 15 families supported by 15 peers.
