Launched in August 2024, ECOMIND is Australia’s leading youth climate mental health and wellbeing charity. We exist because climate change is having a profound impact on the mental health, wellbeing and agency of young Australians – where 70% of young Aussies say climate change impacts their mental health. Right now, the emotional and psychological toll of the climate crisis is seeing increased rates of anxiety, distress and burnout in the next generation.

Our vision is a future where sustainable minds = sustainable planet. Our mission is therefore to empower the next generation to sustainably care for themselves, each other & the planet. We do this by giving young Aussies the toolkit they need to process complex climate emotions, look after their mental health and engage sustainably in climate action. Your support will help us deliver this toolkit, which includes our:

– Climate Mental Health Certificate: Certified psychoeducational training for climate active young people
– Climate Cafes: Peer-support groups for climate conversations to foster empathy and connection
– Advocacy, storytelling and research: to transform climate & mental health conversations, cultures & systems

Save Our Supplies (SOS) is a Queensland-based not-for-profit and registered charity that prevents clean, unused and viable medical supplies from going to landfill. We collect surplus items and small equipment from hospitals and healthcare providers—often discarded due to oversupply, asset write-off or strict expiry standards—and redirect them to health facilities across the Pacific. Our vision is that everyone has access to life-saving medical supplies, and our mission is to improve patient and health system outcomes in Pacific communities where resources are low or limited.

We are proud to achieve a genuine win–win: delivering essential medical goods such as dressings, gloves, surgical tools and protective equipment to clinics that need them, while significantly reducing medical waste in Australia, contributing to healthier individuals and communities across the Pacific with reduced preventable illness, and a circular healthcare economy which reduces Australia’s healthcare-related landfill footprint and carbon impact.

SOS sends over $1.2M worth of viable medical supplies each year to vulnerable communities in Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Solomon Islands. Annually, this equates to approximately 20 tonnes of medical supplies diverted from Australian landfill. Funding will directly strengthen SOS’s capacity to collect, process and distribute a greater volume and range of medical supplies. It will support essential operational needs such as warehouse coordination, volunteer management, and quality assurance, ensuring that every donated item is safely and efficiently redirected. With this support, SOS can expand its reach to more Pacific clinics, deepen partnerships with Australian hospitals, and divert even more viable medical products from landfill.

For tens of thousands of years, Traditional Owners have used fire to care for Country, and to maintain balance between people, plants and animals. When people were displaced from their homelands in the mid-twentieth century, those careful cycles of burning stopped. Without the rhythm of cultural fire management, large, uncontrolled wild-fires began sweeping through the region, destroying the environment and releasing enormous amounts of carbon.

Today, Indigenous rangers are bringing that knowledge back, combining ancient practice with modern science to light the right fires, in the right place, at the right time. The result is one of the world's most successful nature-based climate solutions, known as savanna burning.

The Ground Truth will be a feature-length documentary by Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (ALFA), supported by Karrkad Kanjdji Trust (KKT). Filmed on Country throughout 2026, it will follow Elders, rangers, and young leaders as they use savanna burning to care for Country and reduce carbon emissions — culminating in a global premiere at COP31.

By bringing First Nations voices from Australia’s North to the UN's most significant annual climate summit, we will ensure that Indigenous leadership and ecological wisdom are heard where the climate agenda is set — shifting the narrative from tokenism to genuine partnership. 

This is an invitation to our friends and philanthropic supporters help bring the advocacy and impact of this film to life: to support a project that informs, inspire and strengthens the foundations of Indigenous environmental governance and intergenerational pride on an international scale.

The Noosa Community Foundation is loosely based on the Noosa Shire, Queensland. We are an all-volunteer organization passing 100% of donations to local charities within 12 months of their donation.

Donations can be tied to a particular cause or panel (e.g. environmental), if a donation is untied, we primarily support the education of our financially and socially disadvantaged youth.

Our Funds are held and administered by ACF for your complete protection.
We can accept donations from individuals and from PAFs via ACF.
