Janine Owen- Founder and Head of Impact
A social impact and cause-driven strategist, Janine has a passion for helping causes establish a clear competitive advantage and amplify their social impact towards becoming the change they seek in the world.
With a background in Social Work, PR, Fundraising, and Marketing honed through 16 years of experience leading Fundraising and Marketing campaigns for some of Australia’s best-loved charities; Janine realised the impact she had on the organisations she worked for and wanted to create a system where she could help many more – leading to the launch of her consultancy agency Raised Collective in 2017.
In delivering Raised’s consultancy services, Janine noticed a growing trend of many charities desperately needing funding to continue their valuable work, yet at the same time lacking access to the resources needed to deliver. Clearly, a low-cost, high ROI solution was needed. It was in this context which Janine launched Grant’d in early 2019.
Having generated more than $18 million for the causes she has worked for to date, Janine and her team are determined to change the world, one cause at a time.
