Based in Tasmania, we work across Australia with organisations, communities, and funders ready to think differently and act boldly.

A social enterprise built for community.
Grace & Grit is a registered not-for-profit social enterprise. Every dollar we earn goes back into building capacity across the community sector — through affordable training, grant-funded programs, and free resources for practitioners and communities who need them most.
We exist at the intersection of family violence, First Nations self-determination, workforce development, and systems change. Our work is funded through a mix of consulting fees, training revenue, and grant partnerships — all in service of a single mission: stronger, safer communities.
Currently active in the grant funding pipeline — partnering with communities and funders to deliver where it matters.
