Mentorship and pro-bono support for health & safety professionals
The Safety Net Foundation is a volunteer-led nonprofit operating a mentorship and skills-development program for health and safety professionals, with particular focus on candidates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The org is in early-stage fundraising mode: active projects center on grant writing, corporate partnerships, and impact storytelling, while pain points cluster around unstable revenue and limited operational bandwidth — typical of a newly registered CIC (founded 2025) scaling from grassroots into a sustainable model.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Fundraising, Head of Charity Partnerships, Operations Director, Digital Director, Associate Director
