Friends

The Attitude Foundation relies on the support and generosity of our sponsors and donors. This support helps us to:

  • Promote and advocate for better portrayals of people with disability in media
  • Engage and collaborate with researchers, other organisations and individuals who are working towards the inclusion of people with disability in all areas of life
  • Fund our operations
  • Fund our documentary series 

Major sponsor

In 2014, ANZ partnered with the Attitude Foundation as its founding sponsor, reflecting a shared desire to change community attitudes and behaviour and to empower people with disability to participate in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.

Since then, ANZ has provided financial and in-kind support, including by seconding skilled staff to help support the Foundation’s operations.

ANZ has a proud history of helping its customers, people, and the communities in which it operates to thrive. We are committed to making our products, services, workplace and culture welcoming and supportive of people with a disability. ANZ understands that disability is relevant to every aspect of its business – customers, employees, markets, communities, suppliers and key stakeholders.  You can read more about ANZ’s commitment to building a more accessible and inclusive bank on ANZ’s website.

Opportunities to help

The Foundation is seeking to develop partnerships with organisations and individuals through both financial and in-kind support.

Documentary series

Our documentary series, Perspective Shift, is an ongoing project. Each 30-minute episode features one individual with disability with an interesting story to share. The series objective is to position people with disability as role models or leaders in their chosen fields and to highlight their contributions to our society and shed light on the barriers previously or continually encounter.

These stories are changing attitudes toward disability and there are so many stories to share! We are seeking financial contributors that are as passionate about sharing these stories as we are.

Providing financial or in-kind support to promote our documentary series and its content across a range of traditional, digital and social media platforms.
