Supported charities
Hedgefunds Rock is proud to support the Alternative Future Foundation, which graciously contributes to four selected charities: Kids Giving Back, Redkite, Tranby and Women's Community Shelters.
The aim of The Alternative Future Foundation is to help build positive alternative futures for disadvantaged Australians and their families.
They ensure this by choosing well governed charities who work at the community level where any donations will make a meaningful and measurable difference in the lives of the beneficiaries.
Redkite
As the only national charity in Australia focusing on the psychosocial needs of children with cancer and their families, Redkite’s purpose is to tackle the trauma and financial burden of childhood cancers in all its forms.
However, tackling the challenges of childhood cancers comes at a financial cost. It is only through the generosity of corporates and individuals like you that Redkite can continue to fund its dedicated counsellors to assist and guide children and family members through the most challenging of circumstances.
Alicia and Bronson's Story
Established in 1957, Tranby is Australia's oldest not-for-profit independent Indigenous education provider. Tranby National Indigenous Adult Education and Training ('Tranby') is a function of the Co-operative for Aborigines Limited and has been a pioneer in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adult education, training, and social action for decades.
Tranby, as a nationally registered training organisation (RTO), offers units of competency, full VET qualifications, and non-accredited skill development initiatives to Indigenous adults from across Australia.
Courses at Tranby have changed over time from trade-based skills to governance and legal advocacy. Most importantly, Tranby offers these qualifications in a unique and culturally supportive environment.
For students, Tranby provides a unique opportunity. It provides education free from the trappings of financial burden and cultural misunderstanding. In return, we ask that they use the drive, motivation, self-belief and knowledge they have found here to better the lives of those around them.
Kids Giving Back is an Australian not-for-profit founded in 2012 to create meaningful volunteering opportunities for children, teens and families across New South Wales. The organisation was born when two mothers, unable to find age-appropriate ways for their own children to volunteer, decided to build them instead, believing that no one is too young to make a difference.
Kids Giving Back partners with dozens of charities to engage young volunteers in hands-on activities, from preparing meals to supporting community services that benefit vulnerable people while helping participants develop empathy, leadership and civic responsibility. Their approach aims to instil a lifelong spirit of generosity and strengthen communities through shared service.
No one is ever too youg to help others.
Women’s Community Shelters (WCS) is an Australian charity which works with local communities to set up new crisis accommodation shelters for women leaving homelessness, domestic and family violence, in partnership with local communities. WCS’ ground-breaking funding model brings together business and corporate sponsorship, philanthropic investment, Commonwealth and NSW Government funding and local community fundraising to support our Hub and shelters.
Since 2010, WCS has worked tirelessly to protect and support women and children escaping homelessness, domestic and family violence. To date, WCS has helped seven different communities establish and open crisis shelters to provide more safe havens and additional nights for vulnerable women and children at risk.
Our vision is to expand our network to at least 9 shelters across NSW by the end of 2020, all linked together through technology, shared purpose, operational guidance and support.
