Practical help, shaped around what your organisation actually needs.

You do not need to arrive with a technical brief. Tell us about the challenge, who it affects and the outcome you want. If selected, our Canberra team will use discovery to agree on a useful and achievable scope.

Impact Sponsorship

2 × $5,000

For broader digital priorities requiring deeper investigation, strategic advice or a combination of services.

What is not normally included

This is not a cash grant and will not normally cover a complete website rebuild, advertising expenditure, software subscriptions, third-party licences, hosting fees or work beyond the agreed sponsorship value.
