Groundswell Voting Briefing – October 2026

We’re about to deliver $170,000 to 4 organisations – and your vote will decide where it goes!

To help you decide, we’re hosting an online event where you’ll:

• Learn more about the shortlisted organisations
• Hear why they were selected and how their campaign fits into the broader climate moment we're in
• Learn how to cast your vote
• Ask the Groundswell team questions and meet other members

This is a great way to get behind-the-scenes insights and learn more about the power of our collective giving in action.

The shortlist we are discussing: Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action, Future Ancestors, Hi Neighbour, Ailan Pawa (Our Islands Our Home), Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, Tomorrow Movement, Yawa Network and Youth Verdict.

HOST:

Arielle Gamble, CEO & Co-founder, Groundswell

As Co-Founder and CEO, Arielle has built and nurtured Groundswell into a nationwide community of people committed to funding strategic climate action for a safer future – from game changing litigation to disruptive shareholder activism to dynamic public campaigns to First Nations land and sea management. 

Arielle is passionate about harnessing the power of collaboration to create meaningful change, and about bringing new people and communities into the climate conversation. Groundswell’s renowned climate fellowship program for philanthropic, business and cultural leaders has catalysed game changing climate action across Australia from philanthropy to investment to film and music.

Arielle is a Fellow of Australian Progress, a TEDx Sydney 2023 speaker, and a member of Arise Leadership circle, an initiative of ActionAid supporting women-led emergency preparedness and response across the Pacific with a long-term, transformative agenda.
