Description

In this session facilitated by Strategic Grants’ Erica Blaney, Angel Vasudevan from St John WA will share how a microgrant program in India inspired the creation of a Community Impact Fund at St John WA. The session will cover the steps taken to bring the fund to life, key lessons learnt along the way, and practical insights for organisations looking to adopt a similar approach that makes low‑value grants easier to access for program teams or members, while maintaining community‑led impact.
