the alum fund

foster global change through collaborative ventures and meaningful endeavors

empowering ethical travellers who want to make a difference

Those who join Ngarra Projects on a Journey all share one thing: a passion and drive to change the world. When someone joins a project they bring themselves, their expertise, their stories to it, and help community grow. Seeing and hearing of the good that everyone who joined us wanted to do in the world, we decided to create a way to help them, as they helped us. That is the way the Alum Fund came to life:
a fund built on framework of collaborative endeavors, serving as a financial resource for projects focused on education, environmental stewardship, and community contributions.

The Fund operates by pooling a segment of our contributions and donations, our sponsors and partners,  redirecting these funds towards impactful ventures initiated by Ngarra Alum. It goes beyond money, sometimes providing consultation, business development, marketing and content creation, collaboration and connection between nonprofits on the ground and their mission – it is a relational network that we give to those who give.

The Alum Fund operates on a philosophy deeply rooted in reciprocity and community empowerment. When alumni contribute to this fund, they become active participants in a transformative cycle of giving and receiving. A portion of their contributions directly supports ongoing NGARRA projects, amplifying the impact within communities worldwide. The remaining funds are reserved to assist alumni in their own ventures, allowing them to apply for financial support and guidance to initiate projects aligned with NGARRA’s ethos.

This collaborative approach not only nurtures a supportive network but also empowers individuals to enact meaningful change. Through the Alum Fund, participants are not just beneficiaries; they become integral contributors to a collective effort to enhance communities’ well-being. Every contribution matters, directly fueling NGARRA’s mission to create sustainable and positive change globally.

By nurturing a network of inspired and committed individuals, the Alum Fund echoes the interconnectedness and reciprocity ingrained within Ngarran systems, offering the resources, guidance, and financial support necessary for members to amplify their positive impact in communities around the world.
