DONATE NOW
*Matched Giving
A very generous donor has pledged to double any gift made to AIEF from 1 to 30 June – up to a total value of $250,000.
This is a unique opportunity to make a difference! Make a contribution and your tax-deductible donation can double in value. Your gift can be worth twice as much as we look to transform the futures of young Indigenous children around Australia.
Through your generosity, we can provide additional scholarship places, giving more young Indigenous people the chance to thrive academically and personally.
