Our vision at the National Breast Cancer Foundation is simple: Zero Deaths from breast cancer. How? By partnering with the Australian community to champion world-class breast cancer research to create a better tomorrow for all those impacted. Together, we can work towards a future without fear of breast cancer. The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading not-for-profit organisation funding world-class breast cancer research towards our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer. Since our inception in 1994, NBCF has invested over $200 million into more than 600 world-class research projects across Australia. In this time, the death rate from breast cancer in Australia has reduced by over 40%. We’ve seen remarkable results, but the job’s not done. At NBCF, we’re determined to create a better tomorrow. We know research matters, and it is central and critical to improving breast cancer outcomes. That’s why we fund the very best breast cancer research in Australia by awarding grants via an open national, competitive and rigorous peer review process.

Collingwood Children’s Farm respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the Abbotsford Precinct Heritage Farmlands; the lands we respect, care for and farm on behalf of all Victorians. The Farm thanks all Wurundjeri Elders past and present for their guardianship of these lands. Nestled on the banks of Birrarung and only four kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, Collingwood Children’s Farm was founded in 1979 to support and engage local children experiencing adversity. As a much loved not-for-profit organisation, the Farm’s reason for being remains true to its roots: community engagement, education and connection with nature, green space and animals.

You might know us from our events, such as the Queer Formal which we take across the country, where young people aged 13-19 can bring a same-sex partner, express their gender identity and meet link-minded young people. We work together with local community groups to engage queer youth with their services, engage with opportunities and have an unforgettable evening of celebrating their identity. In 2018, we also ran the first-of-its kind Queer Ideas Festival, where we consulted with 120 LGBTIQ young people around what they want to see from the Government, Community and Organisations, which was then captured in our Young & Queer Report. Minus18 also delivers LGBTIQ Inclusion Workshops which develop empathy and understanding of LGBTIQ people, and equip participants with the tools they need to develop a culture of inclusion, acceptance and allyship within schools, organisations and communities. We've taken these across the country, with a focus across 2019-2020 to deliver subsidized opportunities to Regional and Rural areas. Our Events and Workshops wouldn't exist through the donations and support received through our campaigns such as IDAHOBIT, Wear it Purple Day and Trans Week of Awareness. These help us educate, create visibility and build opportunities, allowing Minus18 to work with communities and organisations to help drive our work - with 100% of proceeds from donations and all our Rainbow Pride resources going to LGBTIQ youth programs.
