Formalise our Partnership

Why partnerships matter to DIYDG

Partnerships are how DIYDG multiplies what our young people, Elders and communities can do. Some are program collaborations, some are contract relationships with businesses whose ethics and reliability keep our operation running, and some are advocacy allies who amplify our voice.

Every partnership is tested against shared purpose, mutual benefit, cultural safety and ethical practice — and every one is a living relationship we review, reset or celebrate over time.

Why formalise now?

Formalising a light agreement isn't about paperwork — it's about protecting both sides, honouring the relationship, and making our shared work visible so others in DIYDG and your organisation can carry it forward.

This form captures the practical detail we need to draft an MOU: who each organisation is legally, what we're each putting into the partnership, what we each hope to get out of it, and the ground rules for how we work together.
