Two incredible groups working to catalyse greater action on climate change have been supported by the Sidney Myer Fund.

• Our Islands, Our Home: led by Torres Strait Islanders to protect their island homes from the impacts of climate change and use their powerful voice to accelerate action on climate.
• Women’s Environmental Leadership Australia (WELA): connects, trains and funds generations of women and gender diverse changemakers to transform Australia’s response to its environmental and climate crises.

Grants are awarded in support of organisations operating at the intersection of climate change and inequality. Whilst each grant is untied, over multiple periods, the funding is designed to support WELA and Our Islands, Our Home to build organisational capacity and capability, and of the constituencies that each supports.
