Voluntary Board Positions
Mr Purple Foundation

Purposeful. Progressive. Belonging.

The Mr Purple Foundation is a new not-for-profit that gives people who need it most a real start in business. They bring the idea; we build the business around it.

That means helping shape the idea, setting up the business, building the website and tools, and 1-on-1 coaching through the launch, staying with them until the business is on track. Accepted participants can apply for a grant to cover the set-up cost.

Every successful participant also gets a business shower: businesses that want to back their success donate what a new business needs, from laptops and software to marketing and bookkeeping support.

Every dollar of profit is re-invested, backing more people.

We are now looking for passionate, values-led people to join our voluntary board and help shape the Foundation from the very beginning.

We are especially interested in people with experience in:

• Not-for-profit leadership and governance
• Small business and start-ups
• Disability, NDIS and community services
• Mental health and wellbeing
• Fundraising, grants and partnerships
• Marketing and communications
• Finance, legal or business strategy
• Lived experience and community connection
