Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes.

Social Innovators Challenge

Movember Funding to Date

Global Funding AUD 10,491,182

What we seek to achieve

To support the development and trialling of innovative ideas that could lead to creative solutions that increase levels of social connections and feelings of belongingness for men; particularly those who are at greater risk of becoming socially isolated. These include key ‘at risk’ population groups including new fathers, unemployed men, divorced men and men of low socio economic status.

About the project

In late 2015, the Movember Foundation released a multi-phased funding opportunity within three markets, Australia, Canada and the UK, that utilized an innovative approach to identifying and funding creative and non-traditional solutions that were co-designed by men to improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes through increased social connectivity.  The initiative was a direct response to findings from previously funded Movember research through beyondblue that highlighted an overall dissatisfaction for men, particularly in their middle years, with the quantity and quality of their friendships and elucidated the importance of strong social support networks to mitigate the associated risk factors of isolation and loneliness on depression, anxiety and suicide. 

The goal is to increase our understanding about what will engage men in healthier behaviour patterns, build positive relationships, and increase levels of social connections through the development, piloting and evaluation of innovative initiatives explicitly aimed at restoring and strengthening the social connections of men.

The program has been structured over three phases: Phase 1- Ideation & Development, Phase 2 – Piloting (Implementation), and Phase 3 – Amplify Reach & Sustainability, and includes a third-party evaluator and a knowledge community to cultivate and share project knowledge. 

What we are doing/have done:
Twelve project teams (5 Australian, 4 United Kingdom, and 3 Canadian) were selected to pilot their project plans over a 2-year period which ended via the submission of a business plan 31 August 2019.   

Business plans were assessed by a panel of subject panel experts based on pre-established criteria for continued investment in Phase 3 which has been designed to build on the outcomes from piloting. Six teams were successful in the assessment process and will be moving on under two streams. Three will continued piloting for 18 months at $150,000 AUD per project and three, one in each participating market, will implement full scaling of business plans for 36 months averaging approximately $750,000 AUD each. 

The third-party evaluation team will continue to work with project teams to evaluate project outcomes and impact and teams will remain engaged in the knowledge community.

Prostate Cancer Research Alliance
