Examples of Support in Action
The Carolyn Vincent Ubuntu Foundation
We are honoured to acknowledge Carolyn Vincent and the Ubuntu Foundation as our inaugural philanthropic supporter. Carolyn’s early belief in our mission helped bring the Rural Health Research Foundation to life. The Ubuntu Foundation’s generosity has been catalytic and has enabled us to establish the Foundation, build trusted relationships across government, health, community, First Nations organisations, universities and lived-experience advocates and launch our first community grants program.
This partnership has set the standard for what meaningful rural philanthropy looks like - personal, intentional, and anchored in trust. Her contribution has shaped the early DNA of the Foundation and shown what is possible when philanthropy stands with regional communities.
The Ubuntu Foundation Community Innovation Grants
Through the Ubuntu Foundation, we launched our first community grants program supporting initiatives that reduce isolation, strengthen belonging, and back grassroot health innovation.
The Foundation leads the program on behalf of the Ubuntu Foundation, ensuring it is strategic, professional, and impactful, while the funding remains place-based, directly benefiting the communities that matter most.
