Dismantle were delighted to host and be the first featured social enterprise of the newly established Investing for Impact WA group, which seeks to bring together a network socially conscious organisations, investors, philanthropists and interested parties, and connect them to social enterprises making waves in WA.

The driving force behind the working group; Philanthropy Australia, Impact Seed, Adam Levin, Sophie Chamberlain of the Spinifex Trust. Responding to the rapidly emerging corporate interest in ESG and impact investing, the collective of social-sector representatives have set out to play middle man between investors and non-profit organisations and social enterprises looking to scale.

As the peak body for philanthropy, we provide advocacy, networking, services and resources to the philanthropic and not-for-profit sector. It made a lot of sense for Philanthropy Australia to work with Dismantle and others to activate a working group and a network of enthusiastic and generous individuals, who now call ourselves Investing for Impact WA. - Dylan Smith, Philanthropy Australia

Providing insight into the impact investment, social enterprise and philanthropy sectors, we heard from Dylan Smith (Philanthropy Australia), Alexandra Humphry (Impact Seed) and Sophie Chamberlain of Spinifex Trust.

Dismantle CEO, Pat Ryan, then presented an investment opportunity, highlighting the progress and future of our social enterprise, ReNew Property Maintenance.

We were absolutely thrilled with the calibre of the group that came to the event on 14th March. As well as a game-changing investment for Dismantle, this event signifies a landmark moment in the social enterprise sector development that still has a long way to go.
While we're excited for the impact this is going to have for our work integrated social enterprise and the young people we support, we’re equally keen to see similar investments emerge as the network continues to pioneer impact investment in WA. - Pat Ryan, CEO
