Our goal for THE Seed Scheme Partners is that they are connected to the direct economic and social revival of Rural Australia through the seed-funding they provide, and achieve a meaningful connection to a group of motivated and successful community of rural women and are able to capitalise on that for their unique needs and outcomes.

Our partners are socially conscious, interested in investing in human potential and are deeply passionate about rural people and communities succeeding.

PARTNERS

Our partners understand we are in it for the long game so they are willing to work with us as we #evolve and as THE Seed Scheme gains momentum.

Our partners want the same thing – blooming great rural and regional communities with #thriving people in it – and they are willing to co-invest in this unique approach to the achievement of that desire.

There are significant advantages of becoming a Partner in THE Seed Scheme, not the least of which is access to an incredible community of passionate, motivated and inspiring rural women!

THE Seed Scheme partners include banks, corporate and medium sized businesses, local government and not for profit organisations.

RESEARCH PARTNER

We are proud to be partnering with the University of New England to undertake an Impact study on the work of THE Seed Scheme and THE Rural Woman in 2019. We will be happy to share the results when we have them!

The benefits to Sponsor Partners could be tenfold in terms of economic return to the community.
