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!
Jane is your first point of contact for JFM Fund grants. She can talk you through our grant programs and discuss your application with you, then she’ll manage the process for your application to be assessed and go to our trustees for a decision. If you’re awarded a grant, Jane will work with you on managing your grant reporting and payments.
Jane has spent much of her professional life working in organisations providing governance, management and financial support to not for profit organisations. She started her career working with community groups, including local advocacy organisations led by people with disability and their families. Jane held senior roles in large grant making organisations in the UK, where she led teams developing new funding programs and grant making processes. Immediately before moving to Adelaide, Jane was working in global philanthropy, with a focus on growing giving in key global markets.
Before joining JFM Fund, Jane led programs supporting disability service providers to transition to NDIS, and mainstream community organisations to make their services more inclusive. Her role at JFM allows Jane to live her values around inclusion. She loves working directly with grant applicants and grant holders, and seeing how our funding supports them to challenge stereotypes and develop new approaches to inclusion.
