Great Schools Australia Fund

Two of our overriding principles at Great Schools Australia are:

  1. To enhance the quality of life of Australia’s children and youth; and
  2. Where possible, to support those schools who want to benefit from our approach but do not have the financial means.

To facilitate this, 5% of our profits go into the fund for schools who wish to use our services but cannot afford to do so.

Guidelines in relation to funding:

  1. At least 50% of the funding for the project must be met through other sources. Apart from that, there is no upper limit as to what schools can request.
  2. We need to be convinced that the application is genuine and that reasonable attempts have been made to raise funds from other sources.
  3. Applications are considered in order of receipt.

To discuss your application, feel free to contact us.
