We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.

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, Programs

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, Programs.

About the project

Through this funding opportunity we are aiming to address the mental health risks associated with social isolation through digital and or technological interventions, particularly within groups of men who are at risk and where these innovative solutions can potentially be scaled for greater impact. As with other mental health initiatives, the aim is to identify those that we can collaborate and work with as partners to build the evidence that they work.

Eleven projects across Australia, Canada, Ireland, and UK initially received investment to co-develop their ideas with Movember over a two-year period.

Phase 1 Co-Development: CAD 173,750

Project Description: Hello Jack (Previously Skill Gen) is a mobile and web-based application that facilitates intergenerational connections for the purpose of in-person, skill sharing workshops. It serves two primary demographics: men roughly 18-40 who are classified as “learners,” and men 55+ known as the “Jacks.” Learners are prompted to build a profile listing their interests in learning tactile crafts across various categories. After creating profiles of their own, Jacks are helped to plan a workshop, post it to the searchable online community, and lead the in-person sessions for learners who decide to join. Through bridging the generational gap and using a series of intuitive in-app features and guides, Hello Jack aims to target loneliness and social isolation in men of all ages by helping to create genuine, real life experiences centered around a shared love of making.

First Person Consulting, a third-party evaluator, was engaged as the evaluation partner to work with the project team.
