Help young Australians change their futures

Research shows that when a child experiences poverty at home, it can flow on to impact other aspects of their life.

At school, educational inequality limits a child’s choices – and employment opportunities in adulthood.

Join forces with The Smith Family to help young Australians overcome educational inequality caused by poverty.

We know that education is one of the most powerful change agents. With your investment, we’ll help young Australians get the extra learning support they need today, to unlock their potential for tomorrow.

What would a corporate partnership involve?

Each mutually beneficial partnership involves a financial contribution to sponsor students in need or to support our learning and mentoring programs.

In addition, you can donate your organisation’s time and talent through our many volunteering and engagement opportunities or provide goods or services that help fuel our organisation or reduce our costs.

Demonstrating to your customers and employees that your company is making a positive contribution to the community is crucial for any business operating in a competitive environment. That’s why it’s important to us that you achieve your corporate social responsibility objectives, and that each partnership we form is unique and designed to meet both our needs.
