The AU$7,852 raised and 1000 subscriptions, valued at AU$94,900, will help The Smith Family's crucial education programs like Learning for Life, which helps more than 56,000 young Australians from disadvantaged backgrounds succeed at school and create better futures for themselves.
The flagship Learning for Life program provides financial support for school essentials, like uniforms and books. It also provides access to additional learning programs before and after school – tailored to each child’s individual needs.

Americans
fundraising for
The Education Trust
The US$15,000 raised supports Ed Trust's important research and advocacy work, which aims to expand excellence and equity in education.
Too many students in America attend schools that lack the tools and supports that children need in order to reach their full academic potential. Through their advocacy and research efforts, Ed Trust is working to create the conditions that allow for more just policies and practices to help students who are underserved thrive.

fundraising for
Save the Children
The £12,000 raised supports Save the Children's crucial programs and advocacy work to help narrow the gap between children living in poverty and their peers.
More than a quarter of England's children live in poverty, giving it one of the highest rates of child poverty in the developed world. Evidence shows that to make a big difference to children growing up in poverty, it is essential to intervene early and work across all areas of their lives.
