Step Into Action Foundation

Board Interlocks (2 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

The foundation prioritizes early intervention and prevention in mental health, believing that accessible, community-based approaches like shared walking can build resilience before crisis occurs. It values movement, social connection, and grassroots community engagement as pathways to mental wellbeing, and focuses on funding programs that empower young Australians to develop coping mechanisms and strong social bonds.

Tips for Applicants

Organizations should align proposals with the foundation's focus on youth mental health prevention, movement-based interventions, and community connection. Demonstrating how your program builds resilience and social bonds in young people aged 10-25, and showing capacity to partner with or participate in walking-based fundraising initiatives, will strengthen applications.
