Tailored strategic partnerships
that create measurable value.
Our foundation partners package is for organisations, groups and businesses who want a much deeper involvement with us. Together, we create a bespoke partnership package and work closely with you as a strategic partner.
As a foundation partner organisation, your entire organisation will be connected to new layers of influence, insight and visibility that span rural communities, national conversations and global best practice. We work alongside your internal teams as a strategic partner to progress your people’s aims. Our aim is to position your rural staff as local leaders and as national contributors to Australia’s rural future.
To become a Foundation Partner, you’ll be a business, organisation or community group who’s eager to nurture your people and take them to greater heights.

Your people will have access to numerous courses, training and professional development initiatives.

The diversity The Connection Table offers in workshop and keynote speaking topics is a great fit for our team because there’s something for everyone.
We’ve been able to access experts in media training, public speaking, engagement, leadership and governance who our team has been able to learn from and apply new skills in their day to day work at QFF.”
Regional Development Australia Orana
Justine Campbell, CEO
“The Connection Table was a natural partnership for us,” RDA Orana CEO Justine Campbell said. “It’s purpose-built to promote regional voices and grow the capability, confidence and connectivity of regional, rural and remote leaders which sits right at the heart of what we do.
We’ve supported 20 leaders across our region since 2025 to access the network and the impact we have witnessed has been incredible.”
Country Education Foundation
Wendy Mason, CEO
“Our partnership strengthens both of our missions by connecting the Country Education Foundation alumni and broader community into The Connection Table network.
Together we’re creating more opportunities for rural Australians to build visibility, expand leadership pathways and stay connected to the Foundation’s events, programs and fellowships.
This collaboration ensures CEF alumni continue to grow, contribute and be supported well beyond their initial scholarship or grant.”
