We are delighted to introduce our new granting strategy for FY27–29, building on the strong history of the Foundation including our focus on supporting young people.
As part of a commitment to our grant partners, in 2025, VFFF explored how it might support organisations to improve their youth participation practice.
The second two-year term of VFFF’s Youth Advisory Group wrapped up in May. We have taken some time to reflect on what we’ve learnt about embedding youth voice in our decision-making processes. Here, El Schwanke, VFFF Program Manager and the group’s coordinator, shares her thoughts while Gabe Francis shares his perspective as an outgoing member of the YAG.
One of the special things about a family foundation is the role that philanthropy can play in building connections across the generations. Geoffrey White OAM, VFFF’s Trustee Emeritus and inaugural CEO, recently shared reflections from his close work with Sir Vincent and Lady Nancy with some of the youngest generation of the family.
The VFFF team loves getting out and about to see our granting partners in action. This quarter, we spent time visiting our partners and attending events focused on supporting young people and regional communities.
