THE AUSTRALIAN FASHION FOUNDATION THANKS ITS CO-TITLE SPONSORS, THE AMERICAN AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION (AAA) AND THE NEXT GENERATION (TNG) FOR THEIR GENEROUS SUPPORT OF AUSFF’S 2022 SUMMER PARTY & SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS.
ABOUT THE AMERICAN AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION (AAA)
The American Australian Association is the largest privately funded non-profit organization dedicated to broadening, strengthening and developing ties across the Pacific. For over 70 years, our programs have connected our two cultures, guided our people and provided new opportunities for a diverse network of trail blazers. The Association’s scholarships & exchanges champion progress, creativity and expression, providing opportunities to young American and Australian leaders to undertake transformational study, research and professional or artistic development in each other’s country. To date, we have awarded more than US$14million to over 900 graduates, veterans and artists. We are committed to fostering artistic achievement through our Arts Fund, which provides scholarships of up to US$40,000 to emerging American, Native American, Australian and Indigenous Australian artists.
ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION (TNG)
The Next Generation is a new private Foundation established by Nick and Gabi Molnar (Nick is the Co-Founder & CEO of Afterpay). The next Generation is about a radically different world with unlimited access to technology and connectivity. It is a foundation with a global perspective that cares deeply about the world. The Foundation is conscious of inheriting the world’s challenges: inequitable access to education and opportunity, the mounting environmental pressures, and the increasing realities of fraying communities.
The Foundation acknowledges the world uniquely through this next generation lens – both the challenges and the opportunities. TNG understands the transformative power, productivity, and possibility of the next generation to create exponential positive impact. TNG takes a fresh approach to collaborate, invest in, and stand behind the next generation, with a fresh philanthropic perspective. TNG wants to be a part of creating the world that this next generation demands and deserves.
