The Paul Ramsay Foundation invites organisations collaborating to provide long-term support for families experiencing domestic and family violence to apply for the new grant round.
PRF’s Strengthening Family-Centred Collaborations Grant Round seeks to boost cross-sector domestic and family violence (DFV) collaborations by providing recipients with funding and support from learning partners to strengthen their existing activities.
This is a timely announcement as we mark the beginning of Domestic Violence Prevention Month this May. Expressions of interest are open until 10 June to existing collaborations that satisfy the following criteria:
- Consisting of three or more organisations that have already been working together on a shared purpose for a minimum of six months
- Based in and benefitting communities in the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia or Western Australia (collaborations that are First Nations-led or mainly benefiting First Nations communities in areas adjacent to the NT, QLD, SA or WA will also be considered)
- Mainly benefit one or more of these cohorts: pregnant women, children under 12 years, First Nations communities or CALD communities
- Focus on secondary prevention (supports for vulnerable families to change their trajectories) and/or recovery and healing (supports building stability and minimising long-term trauma responses after adverse events)
Each collaboration in the grant round will receive $600,000 across three years ($200,000 per annum). The funding can be used for activities including advocacy, capability supports, research projects, inclusion of lived experience in the collaboration’s activities and shared tools. In addition, the selected collaborations will work with learning partners to capture collective knowledge to improve outcomes for families.
“We know that for families experiencing DFV to receive meaningful support, services need to work together to support the whole family,” said PRF Head of Families Jackie Ruddock. “The Strengthening Family-Centred Collaborations Grant Round is intended to bolster the capacity of services to work collaboratively to wrap around and support families experiencing DFV and create better outcomes for all those involved.”
According to Ruddock, this grant round is directly informed by feedback from recipients of PRF’s previous DFV investments.
“We look forward to hearing from the collaborations already working together in the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia to reduce the intergenerational impacts of domestic and family violence and helping families to thrive,” she added.
More information can be found in the Grant Guidelines and FAQs available on the PRF website.
