Julia Farr MS McLeod Benevolent Fund has a new name – we are now the JFM Fund. In addition to our new name, we’ve also given our brand and website a vibrant makeover – we hope you like our new look!
The JFM Fund is committed to funding work that creates new models of inclusion, where people with disability take up valued, contributing roles in communities of their choice. We fund organisations and individuals with great, new, and disruptive ideas, supporting their innovation from start-up stage through to scale up.

We make grants to people with disability to support them to develop a great idea for increasing the inclusion of people with disability in communities of their choice. You must be resident in South Australia to apply for a grant to individuals.
We fund organisations to develop, test and grow innovations and new models in disability inclusion to advance the opportunities for people with disability to be included as valued, contributing members in communities of their choice. Grants are awarded as fixed term, project funding.
“It would be a lot easier without Australia’s overprotective legislation. Disabled people have different requirements that suffocate the development of disability-specific vehicles.”

“As CEO of The Orange Butterfly Foundation, I see firsthand the impact Butterfly Hour has on this community. The most important thing to me is making people happy and providing that feeling of belonging and purpose back into people’s lives. On a personal note, this grant has given me the opportunity to work and maintain a salary for the first time since my own accident, which is incredibly life changing for me. I’m truly grateful that people believe in my vision.”
