Creating opportunity together
TFDI 500
A community-powered mission to fund 500 complete business support places for people ready to build sustainable businesses.
Too many people never get the chance to build the business they know they’re capable of—not because they lack ideas or determination, but because the first few steps can feel overwhelming.
TFDI 500 exists to change that.
By bringing together community supporters, businesses, councils and partner organisations, we’re creating funded places that give people access to the digital tools, learning and ongoing support needed to build strong foundations for a sustainable business.
This isn’t about handing out cash.
It’s about funding opportunity.
Every funded place provides practical support designed to help someone move from idea to action, or from uncertainty to stronger foundations.
More than just a website

A funded place isn’t simply a one-off gift. It’s an investment in someone’s future, providing the tools, knowledge, community and support they need to build something sustainable.
Twice the opportunity
One Donation.
Double The Impact.
Every complete TFDI 500 place funded through our community is matched by TFDI through donated services, effectively doubling the number of people we can help.

People given the opportunity to build stronger, more sustainable businesses.
That’s the power of partnership.
Every contribution creates more than a funded place.
It creates confidence, opportunity, knowledge, community and the
foundations of a business that could support an individual, a family

Together, we’re not simply funding businesses—we’re investing in people’s futures.
