The statistics tell one story. Help us tell another.
Facing the Numbers is more than a documentary project – it is a national social impact and education campaign designed to cut through public apathy, challenge racism and mobilise a groundswell of support for justice.
We have the stories. Now, we need the resources to ensure they are heard, felt and acted on.
Where your donation goes
Your contribution directly funds the delivery of our national impact and education phase. Every dollar received goes entirely toward moving this project from awareness to measurable, long-term action:
Education: Developing curriculum-mapped digital resources for secondary schools and universities, fostering informed dialogue on truth and justice for tens of thousands of students across Australia.
Community screenings: Funding facilitated grassroots screenings and community-led dialogues, ensuring these films are shared in culturally safe environments that focus on healing and collective action.
Digital infrastructure and mobilisation: Building and maintaining our dedicated impact microsite to host the films, distribute educational tools and directly connect audiences to specific, community-led advocacy pathways.
Accountability and governance: Funding honorariums for our First Nations Advisory Group and storytellers, ensuring the entire campaign remains grounded in care, reciprocity and community accountability.
Strategic impact marketing: Launching high-impact campaign moments to capture national media attention, putting these stories directly in front of policymakers and decision-makers.
