Public-benefit work runs on support
As a not-for-profit initiative, the Foundation depends on people who give time, skill and partnership — and, in future, funds. Here is how you can help today, and how giving will work once it is properly established.
Ways to support us today
Right now, the most valuable support is participation — no money involved.

About donations
We are not yet able to accept donations. Octopus Foundation intends to register as a charity with the ACNC; until registration and the required fundraising approvals are complete, we do not take money — and nothing on this site is a request for funds.
