Creating flourishing communities

We enable community changemakers to launch ideas that challenge inequity and create lasting solutions to social issues.

We’re a catalyst
for change

Providing you with expertise in governance, securing funding, setting strategy and organisational structure, BAF offers credibility and connections that open doors to ensure your idea can succeed and continue to thrive beyond our involvement.

Unlike a community grant funder, our value is in our experienced, connected team and network who enable you to build your organisation or initiative and create positive change within your community.

We work across three core action areas; Research, Collaboration and Service. Read more below.
