The Insignia Community Foundation is pleased to collaborate with our charitable partners to bring greater financial freedom and opportunity to people in the community. We’re pleased to share some of the ways the Foundation is supporting our partners.
The Insignia Community Foundation supports OzHarvest with its ‘Market’ in Sydney and Adelaide, which serves thousands of customers each year and is based on a ‘take what you need, give if you can’ model. OzHarvest Markets empower people to shop for free rescued groceries and pantry staples, helping to ease financial stress and enabling families to allocate their limited finances to other essentials such as rent, utilities, education, and healthcare
Our people support OzHarvest through our Community Program where people volunteer with Cooking for a Cause, at OzHarvest Markets and educate Nourish participants on the importance of Superannuation.
Tradeswomen Australia is committed to breaking down barriers and increasing the participation of women in trades by creating safer, fairer and more inclusive workplaces. Its purpose is to ensure that girls, women, and non-binary people feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed in the trade career of their choice, free from bias and unnecessary barriers.
The Insignia Community Foundation is proud to support the Tradeswomen Australia Apprentice Scholarship Program, which provides mentoring and financial assistance to cover essential costs such as tools, personal protective equipment, fuel, food, childcare, and other training-related expenses. This support helps women stay engaged in education and employment, complete their Apprenticeship and sets them up to thrive in their chosen careers.
RizeUp is a national organisation creating real, lasting change for families fleeing domestic and family violence. They deliver practical support that helps victim-survivors rebuild their lives, breaking the cycle, restoring dignity, and making sure no one has to return to danger.
The Insignia Community Foundation is proud to support RizeUp’s Homes Program, which transforms empty houses into warm, welcoming homes for those escaping violence. Each home is thoughtfully furnished with essential items—furniture, crockery & cookware, pantry food items, décor, toys, and school supplies—tailored to the unique needs of each family. This is made possible through the dedication of community volunteers and collaboration with frontline support services.
In 2024, the Insignia Community Foundation commenced its partnership with Cerebral Palsy Alliance by supporting CPActive Young Changemakers. The 12-week online advocacy and leadership program was designed by and for young people 18-30 years of age with cerebral palsy to develop skills, build confidence, create community, and provide pathways towards advocacy and leadership.

Dementia Australia and the Insignia Community Foundation have been in partnership since 2015 with our support including funding the first virtual reality headset to enable healthcare workers to experience dementia. Later, we supported the development of the Ask Annie mobile app for healthcare workers to build an understanding of dementia and improve care practices.
In 2024/25, we are proud to support Dementia Australia to produce the Younger Onset Dementia Guide for people diagnosed with dementia under the age of 65. The Guide includes information on how to navigate superannuation, banking and insurance, plus other important information at the time of diagnosis.

We’re delighted that the girls choir performs in our office when they're travelling as part of the girls from Oz Travel Program, which provides vital opportunities for the participants to learn how to thrive when they are away from home.
