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.

Every two years the philanthropic community gathers at the Philanthropy Australia conference, providing an opportunity to connect, share and learn from sector peers.
At the most recent conference held in Adelaide, on the lands of the Kaurna people, VFFF was well represented with family members, Directors, a Youth Advisory Group member and some of the team in attendance.

Drawing on their experiences as young people from the bush, the YAG continue to play an integral role in VFFF’s work by shortlisting applicants for the Backing The Future program and providing guidance to VFFF staff on how to best back young people.

As part of our regular Youth Advisory Group Q&A series, we are excited to introduce you to Elise Lane
