100% to Social Impact
Since 2017 Kind Enterprises has contributed over a million dollars of our revenue and resources towards community building projects. As an impact-focused social enterprise committed to positive social change, we dedicate 100% of our profits to socioeconomic development and community empowerment projects across Australia.

Tangible Projects
We’re not just talking about vague donations here! When you engage Kind Enterprises for professional development training and consulting services, you can specify exactly which socioeconomic development project you’d like to support and you can even ask to be kept up to date with project details.

Ecosystem Empowerment
Both in theory and practice, Kind Enterprises seeks to challenge the Top-Down paradigm of development. We’re firm believers in a systems-thinking approach to social change, and we always centre the principles of ecosystem empowerment and self-determination in our consulting work and project design.
Breakwell Organic Farm
Breakwell Organic Farm is a Kind Enterprises project aimed at developing food security and improving access to quality organic produce for marginalised communities as well as fostering greater community participation in self-empowerment and collective security.
The project starts with olive oil production, from the 1000 olive trees on site, which provides employment opportunities for underprivileged community members and also generates revenue for the ongoing costs of the community-run farm.
Bringing together expert regenerative farming and permaculture consultants, First Nations advisors, local service providers, community groups, families, students, and elders, Breakwell Organic Farm seeks to foster a community-led approach to resolving food security and cost-of-living challenges.
All excess produce that is not sold or distributed directly to community members will go to the Bendigo Community Kitchen, another Kind Enterprises project. This project is in its early stages and we are actively seeking project partners and collaborators. If you’d like to find out more click the button below and send us an email.
Kind Enterprises has already contributed over $200,000 of our revenue and resources to the Breakwell Organic Farm project with the total project cost estimate to come to half a million dollars by the end of 2025.
Bendigo Community Kitchen
Bendigo Community Kitchen is Kind Enterprises’ most recent project, and it draws on almost three decades of experience in providing no-cost and low-cost meals for tens of thousands of people across Australia at events, festivals, and community gatherings.
We have secured and signed a 3-year lease on a prime 2-storey location in Bendigo CBD with a commercial kitchen, cafe kitchen, and plenty of room for events, functions, and community gatherings. With the official launch of the space only a few short months away, we are engaged in consultations and collaborations with other local organisations and youth-led groups to ensure the space becomes what the community wants it to be.
We have already contributed tens of thousands of dollars in establishment costs to this project thanks to the work our committed clients have engaged us in, and we are also open to collaborations with local community groups and service providers.
Newkind Conference
Newkind Social Justice Conference is one of our longest-running projects and has brought over 500 volunteers, 3000 conference participants, and tens of thousands more online for the purpose of community building, inspiration, and empowerment for social change.
We are proud to say that the conference has not only sparked thousands of new connections and collaborations, but has actively contributed to the initiation of hundreds of new social enterprises, projects, collaborations and initiative for positive social impact.
Covering the themes of Gender Equality, Racial Equity, Economic Justice, Environmental Protection and Indigenous Sovereignty and more, the conference brings together a wide variety of participants from across multiple sectors in order to foster a collective, comprehensive and system-thinking approach to social change. The majority of conference attendees have been able to attend thanks to no-cost and pay-what-you-can ticket options, and First Nations Delegates are guests of the event and have a complimentary ticket option.
Over the last 6 years Kind Enterprises has invested over $500,000 of our revenue towards the hosting of this crucial community-building event. To find out more about Newkind Conference, go to www.newkindconference.com
