Meet Our 2024 Charity Partners
We are very excited to announce the six amazing charities that will benefit from $137,000 in grant funding.
Raise Foundation
Raise’s early-intervention, mentoring program matches young people in high schools with volunteer mentors from the community who spend time with them each week, offering support. With industry-leading training and supervision from qualified Program Counsellors, Raise supports volunteers to ensure they have all the skills required to mentor young people, spreading hope through communities.
Outback Futures
Outback Futures is a not-for-profit organisation committed to providing allied health services to rural and remote Queenslanders. The service delivery is provided through remote health clinics and tele-health services. We exist to fill vital allied health service gaps, and to build capacity in local communities to improve their own mental health and wellbeing.
Backpacks 4 SA Kids
Backpacks 4 SA Kids is a charity that supports children and young people from newborn to 24 who have become displaced from their homes often as a result of a trauma and with little to no personal belongings. The aim is to ensure each child has items of their own to help distract them from the situation they are in, have control of something that is just theirs and reduce the stress and anxiety these kids face on a daily basis.
Eat Up
Eat Up engages with volunteers to provide nutritious lunches for disadvantaged children who arrive at school with no food from home. By providing lunch to these children, Eat Up aims to improve their engagement in the classroom so they can better take advantage of their learning opportunities, succeed in education, and have a brighter future.
Miracle Babies
Miracle Babies Foundation is Australia’s leading organisation supporting premature and sick newborns, their families and the hospitals that care for them. We are passionate in developing and providing vital programs and resources to support and enhance a family’s experience from a high-risk pregnancy, hospital journey with a premature or sick newborn, the transition to home and beyond.
Top Blokes
Top Blokes Foundation is on a mission to improve young male health and wellbeing. Top Blokes works with groups of boys and young men over 3 to 6 months to increase their resilience, empathy, and respect for self and others, and in doing so work to reduce the rates of suicides, mental health issues, and antisocial and risk-taking behaviours.
