Guiding principles

Inclusive

We support charities that have an inspiring vision and goals that align with building a fairer, more inclusive Australia.

Child and Youth Centred

We support charities that elevate the voices and lived experience of children and young people to inform their work and take child and youth-centred approaches to address the unique needs of specific population groups.

Impact

We invest in charities with a track record of working with children and young people experiencing disadvantage or discrimination and a commitment to fostering lasting change.

Learning

We challenge ourselves to evolve, evaluate and learn from what we do, and invest in charities that do the same.

Collaborative

We collaborate with others to amplify the impact of our philanthropy and believe financial investment is just the beginning.
