Education Foundation Australia

Education Foundation Australia "is unique in its focus on philanthropic support for public education. It is the only independent, non-profit organisation in Australia that strengthens public education by investing private monies (philanthropic and corporate) into primary and secondary schools. Our focus is educational excellence and equality of opportunity...

"Since 1989, we have raised $9 million which has been invested in the support of public schools to make a difference to the education of students, especially those who are disadvantaged or at risk of dropping out of school."
