About FoundWell.
FoundWell is an Australian financial literacy social enterprise. We run workshops and corporate programs built around one simple framework: Building Your Financial House. Foundations first. Walls second. Roof last. Always in that order.
FoundWell give 50% of profits to Arise Foundation Australia:
when you invest in your financial well-being, you also give another person a fresh start too.
Our Mission
To make financial literacy genuinely accessible to every Australian, and to ensure that every step forward someone takes with their own finances directly funds someone else's fresh start.
Our Purpose
We exist because financial confidence shouldn't depend on who you know, where you worked, or whether someone sat down and explained it to you. It should be available to everyone.
Our Framework
Every FoundWell workshop and course is built around one central idea, that most people are taught to build their financial house from the roof down. They invest before they've sorted their debt. They chase returns before they have an emergency fund. They plan for retirement before they know what fund their super is even in.
Our Social Enterprise Commitment
FoundWell was built as a social enterprise from day one.
50% of every single dollar FoundWell earns, every workshop ticket, every corporate booking, every digital course goes directly to Arise Foundation Australia.
About Arise Foundation
FoundWell was always going to be more than a business.
Arise supports women who have experienced domestic and financial abuse to achieve lasting financial independence. They provide employment coaching, financial counselling, legal assistance and wraparound support services.
Financial literacy is a form of protection. Financial independence is a form of freedom. Teaching women to understand their money is in a very real sense the same work.
About the Founder
Rachel began her career at KPMG in financial services and later worked in Treasury, mastering the language of money: compound interest, discount rates, risk-adjusted returns. Yet outside those rooms she heard a different story: smart, ambitious women who felt locked out not because they couldn’t understand finance, but because it was rarely explained in an inclusive way.
FoundWell was born to change that. Rachel built a program that starts with the fundamentals, uses plain language, and meets people where they are, starting with the foundations most people were never taught. Making the language of money genuinely accessible, to everyone, but especially to the women who've been made to feel like this world isn't theirs.
