Philanthropy

In the FY20 financial year, our philanthropic income contributed $9 million toward our vision of an Australia free of poverty.

The financial support we receive from donors allows us to improve and extend our independent work with individuals, families and communities who face disadvantage, and to undertake research and develop policy needed to meet the social and economic challenges of persistent poverty.
