Australian Schools Plus is a national not-for-profit founded in 2014 following a recommendation in the first Gonski Review, which identified a need for philanthropic funding in schools to help close the education gap caused by disadvantage. 

We deliver tailored programs to help children facing disadvantage to thrive, focusing on reducing learning gaps and improving wellbeing, particularly for children from rural, regional, and remote areas, First Nations communities, and those affected by crises.

Backed by philanthropic pioneers such as Kerry Stokes AC, John B Fairfax AO, Nick Fairfax and David Gonski AC, the organisation has raised over $68 million to support more than 550,000 school children with targeted programs and initiatives. 

The impact of our work on children and school communities across Australia is made possible by our supporters.
