Expressions of Interest - a call out for interested regional programs

Prototyping a Model of Significant Financial Assistance for Young People and Households with Children in Regional South Australia

Wyatt is looking to provide flexible, high-trust financial assistance to young people and households with children in regional South Australia who are navigating transition, financial hardship, housing risk, and complexity.

The intention is to support young people to strengthen their long-term housing and financial stability, independence and opportunity rather than relieve immediate financial pressure.

In the first year Wyatt will partner with a handful of regional partners, through which approximately 30 young people across South Australia will each receive a grant of $10,000. Young people will draw down on the grant and receive support along the way.

We are seeking expressions of interest from regional programs excited about the opportunity as described; to work alongside Wyatt, people with lived experience of financial hardship, and other regional partners to prototype a model that combines financial assistance and stable housing, trusted relationships, and long-term aspirations.

We are on the lookout for regional South Australian programs that have strong relationships with young people and families in regional communities, who work with people experiencing complexity, financial hardship or transition and who can envision how grants of this kind might support the long-term wellbeing and financial stability of young people they work with.

Want to learn more? Express your interest before Wednesday August 12 through SmartyGrants and tell us about your program and the work you do:

• How young people shape services, programs and systems within your organisation
• The type of support your program provides and the principles and values that guide your work
• What interests you about this opportunity and any questions
• An approximate number of participants that your program could realistically connect to the program and support through the process. 

Please note that selected partnering programs will receive $10,000 of brokerage funds for each participant plus a contribution to the support and to relational grant making, and administration costs. (Final administration and funding arrangements to be discussed]

This EOI is intended to take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete – thank you for your time!

Session time-out warning

For security reasons, your login session will expire after 20 minutes of inactivity. Saving your form or navigating to another page resets the timer.

You’ll be prompted 90 seconds before your session expires, with the option to extend your session or log out. If you don’t respond to the prompt in time, your form will be automatically saved before your session ends.

Even so, we recommend saving your form regularly – especially when working on longer responses – to avoid losing any work.
