Helping people transition into a career by offering financial support for ‘work ready’ individuals.

Our purpose is people

Too often it isn’t a candidate’s skillset, passion or values that get in the way of them securing employment, but their confidence and financial situation. But for some, this can also be coupled with the weight of caring responsibilities, low confidence, navigating a lack of local opportunities, and processing difficult (or even traumatic) life events.

Financial help for those in need

The reality is that not everyone will have the means to fund this. It could be the perfect role - the one that feels just right - and yet without access to these ‘necessities’, the best person for the role might not have a chance to apply.

Our Impact in 2024

The Foundation provided a grant to a job seeker who had been struggling with long term unemployment, following challenges with their health and a history of offending.

After being referred through the Wallich’s BOSS Project, the Foundation was able to provide the financial support and guidance to help this individual launch a 5* removal business from the ground up.

How It Works

It was through our experience as a specialist housing recruitment agency that we recognised that beginning your first job search or returning to work can be a confusing, costly and stressful time for some.

The Moxie Foundation is funded through 5% of our retained profits, which has empowered job seekers from marginalised communities, facing barriers, or at the start of their work journey to secure sustainable and rewarding employment.

Our grants are already making a difference. (Wahoo!)

The Finances, Skills and Futures (FSF) Project has formed a valuable working link with Moxie People. Having secured grants via Moxie People, two FSF clients are now IT ready and on their way to taking back control of their lives, beginning with training and job interviews via TEAMS
