Western Australia Return Recycle Renew Limited - Testimonial
Winning the Pinnacle award last year reaffirmed that our work is beneficial to the WA community. The external validation boosted our confidence in the initiatives we had already started. As a non-profit, these awards are immensely important to our team, and we are all proud Pinnacle award winners.
Kristen Britz, Head of Information Technology and Innovation
Innovation Excellence Award Winner 2024
Purple Hands - Testimonial
The training has been and will be used across the organisation for operational staff and senior management. We’ve completed “Ways of Working with Aboriginal People” and “Effective Stakeholder Engagement” courses and going forward the training is likely to be very mixed across a number of themes including Design Thinking, facilitation, networking and influencing and Project Management Fundamentals.
We’ve found AIM WA to be very accommodating and supportive – ensuring we maximise this incredible opportunity. As a relatively new NFP, we simply don’t have the budget for professional development, so the grant is incredibly valuable.
Innovation Excellence Grant Recipient 2024
Breast Cancer Care WA - Testimonial
The $20,000 training grant has already begun to make a meaningful impact on our organisation, enabling our team to access valuable development opportunities. As we continue to use the grant throughout the year, we expect to see even greater benefits as staff build skills in their respective areas of interest and expertise. We’re confident this ongoing investment will strengthen our team’s capability and support continued growth across the organisation
