Hot off the funding raising success of their Annual Trivia Night, the GPAN team have launched an online fundraiser for the end of financial year.
Good People Act Now (GPAN) is our award-winning youth-led action group working to promote gender equality and prevent violence against women in Hume and surrounds.
Over the past eight years, GPAN has trained over 500 young people on how to build the skills necessary to undertake bystander action in their local community.
GPAN has partnered with numerous high schools, community groups, workplaces, sporting clubs and more to deliver educational workshops on gender inequality, family violence, violence against women and bystander action training.
GPAN is youth-led and volunteer driven
One of the features of the GPAN project is the youth-led initiatives in the community. GPAN is raising funds to further that important work in a number of ways.
How the funds will be used
The priorities identified by our GPANers are:
- supporting our young GPANers to deliver gender equity workshops in local high schools and for community groups (e.g. sporting clubs, various interest groups).
- to print resources (they’ve helped create a beautiful booklet for young people) and have made some wonderful by-stander action videos in the past
- and for advocacy purposes (creating campaigns, presenting to and lobbying local politicians/government etc).
While GPAN will be using Banksia Gardens’s giving platform (and funds raised will be managed by Banksia Gardens), all funds raised will go to the GPAN project. As such, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
