Campaign volunteers helping spread the word
With National Volunteer Week just past, Outback Spirit Foundation is fortunate to have such a great business community of peers and friends who have kindly volunteered to spread the word on social media for the Foundation’s upcoming crowdfunding campaign www.outbackspirit.net.
The campaign to raise $60K over seven days starts this Sunday 21 May through to 28 May, to help empower more Aboriginal bushfood enterprises through the Outback Spirit Foundation programs.
Indigenous people may otherwise miss out on enterprising opportunities to be key players in the Native Australian bushfoods industry without the right start-up help and advice.
Native foods, like the bush tomato and Kakadu plum, are becoming increasingly popular as ingredients and condiments for everyday meals. Outback Spirit Foundation, through community donations and grants, is able to help more Indigenous enterprises and farmers develop their ideas and businesses in an authentic Australian bushfood supply chain.
You too can be part of the solution to empower more Aboriginal bushfood enterprises by sharing posts about the Foundation’s campaign and registering now at www.outbackspirit.net and supporting the crowd-funder from 21 May to 28 May. Every dollar you donate will be quadrupled thanks to matching donors.
