THE PUSH FOR BETTER FOUNDATION LIMITED
Giving Philosophy
The foundation focuses on mental health promotion through education, connection, and physical wellbeing rather than direct grantmaking. It operates on a model of engaging everyday Australians in fitness challenges to raise awareness of mental health issues, improve mental health literacy through science-backed content, and support partner charities. Funds raised are used to operate the challenge, support charity partners, equip student ambassadors, and develop new mental health promotion initiatives.
Tips for Applicants
This foundation operates programs rather than making grants to external organizations. The primary partnership opportunities are with Lifeline and headspace as charity partners who receive fundraising support. For schools or community groups, engagement opportunities exist through the Student Ambassador Program and participating in The Push-Up Challenge. The foundation emphasizes mental health literacy, connection through fitness, and evidence-based educational content.
