First Nations Foundation<\/a> has received $155,000 from MetLife Foundation to continue strengthening the financial knowledge of First Nations women.<\/p>\n

The insurer together with MetLife Foundation have extended their support by donating funds to FNF’s Indigenous women’s financial literacy initiative, Rich Blak Women<\/em>, and its new program, Resilient and Ready<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The new program, designed to cater to the unique needs of Indigenous women, focuses exclusively on career development and supporting employment journeys.<\/p>\n

The two organisations say the funding received from MetLife will enable approximately 500 First Nations women to participate in the Resilient and Ready<\/em> program, which is offered across a range of online workshops, self-paced financial well-being modules and in-person events.<\/p>\n

They note the program covers essential financial foundations such as budgeting, savings and debt management, while also providing support in setting personal and career goals.<\/p>\n

FNF chief executive Phil Usher<\/strong> says it’s a great sign from MetLife to demonstrate its commitment to the financial well-being of First Nations women.<\/p>\n

“At FNF, we’re keen to team up with those who share our passion and drive to financially empower First Nations communities…”<\/p>\n

…everything we do at the foundation follows a culture-first approach…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Usher says a significant part of the training involves overcoming limiting beliefs and establishing healthy boundaries when it comes to money.<\/p>\n

“Everything we do at the foundation follows a culture-first approach, which is the essence of why our programs are successful,” he says.<\/p>\n

MetLife Australia chief executive Richard Nunn<\/strong> reaffirmed the insurer’s commitment to supporting FNF’s efforts to enhance the financial literacy of First Nations women.<\/p>\n

Nunn says the company looks forward to working with FNF\u00a0 “…and continuing our journey of cultural learning to deliver better experiences for our First Nations customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

A recent report, by the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Business and Economics, found that Indigenous-owned businesses in Australia generated $16.1 billion in revenue and provided jobs for 116,795 employees over the fiscal year 2021 to 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
