Partnerships

Official Charity – Moriarty Foundation:

Impetus is hugely proud to be partnered with the Moriarty Foundation as our official charity.

Established in 2011, Moriarty Foundation delivers two groundbreaking and interrelated community initiatives in remote and regional Australia, Indi Kindi and John Moriarty Football.

John Moriarty Football (JMF) is Australia’s longest-running and most successful Indigenous football initiative for 2-18-year-olds. JMF’s transformational skills program uses football for talent and positive change. JMF has a proven track record of improving school attendance and achieving resilient, healthier outcomes for some of Australia’s most remote Indigenous communities.

Each week JMF reaches more than 2,000 children, with equal participation of boys and girls in eighteen communities across New South Wales, Queensland, and the Northern Territory through in-school and after-school sessions, free school holiday clinics, weekend tournaments, and in juvenile justice facilities.

JMF is a holistic initiative that encourages regular school attendance, healthier lifestyles, self-respect, and community engagement through football and teamwork.

At each session, the organization provides access to nutritious meals and snacks which are designed by a sports dietitian and include nutrients that are often lacking from Aboriginal children’s diets.

Impetus is proud to sponsor Miley Shipp, one of Moriarty Foundation’s young female scholarship holders. Hailing from rural Australia, our support of Miley helps to help fund her top-level life-changing educational and footballing opportunities in Sydney.

Several girls who started with JMF are now on the Young Matildas player pathway. The partnership will include regular features on the JMF’s staff, coaches, and ambassadors who include Australian internationals Gema Simon and Jada Whyman.
