Powering the 2026 Make the Difference! Grants Round.

18/08/2026

Every Future2 grant represents more than funding. It’s an investment in people, communities and organisations helping Australians build stronger financial futures.

In our latest Future2 Impact Story, Rachael Satchell from Milford sits down with Andy Lee, Founder of Pluton, to discuss how Pluton supports young people through mentoring, education and practical financial literacy skills, and the impact of Future2’s funding on their work and community.

Their conversation explores why grassroots organisations are so vital to their communities, the difference partnerships can make, and how support from the financial services community can build greater financial confidence, resilience and opportunity beyond the initial grant.

We're grateful to Milford for choosing to highlight Pluton's work and for helping share the stories behind the Future2 Make the Difference Grants Program.

Watch the full conversation below and learn more about the impact your support makes possible.

💥 Remember, the 2026 Future2 Make the Difference! Grants Program is now open. If you know a grassroots program helping improve financial wellbeing in your community, don’t miss the chance to nominate them for a grant of up to $15,000 before 20 August: future2foundation.org.au

One nomination can open the door to life-changing opportunities.

When Kellie Bennett, Principal at Forsyths, saw the impact The Tiny Foxes was making through its financial literacy programs, she knew more young people deserved the same opportunity.

Through her work with the organisation, Kellie saw students build practical skills in budgeting, tax, credit, employment and preparing for adult life. Just as importantly, she saw the confidence these lessons gave young people as they looked to the future.

⭐ That’s why she nominated The Tiny Foxes for a Future2 grant.⭐

Thanks to Kellie’s nomination, The Tiny Foxes received funding to expand its Life Skills Academy into more schools across regional NSW, helping hundreds more young people build the financial knowledge and confidence they need for the future.
