Say Their Name

 

 

In ancient teaching it is said that we each have three deaths: the first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the soul leaves the body. The third is that moment when that person’s name is spoken for the last time.

Purpose of the fund 

A donation to the Say Their Name fund is a way for donors to keep alive the memory of someone who has died, and in so doing support First Nations women and girls living in the inner northern area of Melbourne.

Who we are

The Say Their Name Fund was established with a donation from Genevieve Timmons in 2013. The Fund provides small annual grants to First Nations women and girls who live, work or study in Melbourne’s inner northern suburbs, particularly the Moreland, Yarra and Darebin municipalities.

Recipients develop their leadership skills and experience, and strengthen their prospects for employment and leadership roles in the future.

Five people incorporate the team: Genevieve Timmons, Charles Tegner, Rob Hauser, Mary Dykes and Josie Walta.

Our grants

Currently, grants from the Fund are small, but are expected to grow as more people donate to the Fund.  Past grants have been directed to the Aborigines Advancement League in Thornbury.  www.aal.org.au
