Support Yalari

Ways to Support Us

Partner with Yalari

Yalari is built on partnerships: partnerships with our students, their families and communities; partnerships with our schools; and, alongside everything we do, partnerships with our sponsors and supporters.

When young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are given access to quality education and surrounded by people who believe in them, they achieve extraordinary things. That’s been Yalari’s story for 20 years.

Partnership opportunities

Scholarships & educational access

Fund a student’s journey from Year 7 through to graduation. Your partnership ensures a student has a place in one of Australia’s leading schools from Year 7 to graduation.

The Yalari Foundation

Contributions to the Yalari Foundation are invested to grow over time, funding scholarships in perpetuity. Instead of being spent once, your gift grows over time to fund scholarships for generations to come. A contribution made today is a promise of opportunity for a student in 2075 and beyond.

Programs & operations

It’s a community that makes it feel like home. Student camps spark early friendships, mentoring keeps students connected, alumni programs show what’s possible, and social enterprise experiences build real confidence. This funding supports the whole journey – the relationships and shared experiences that turn a school placement into a lasting success.

Workplace Giving​

Speak to your employer about making a regular pre-tax donation through your weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay. It doesn’t take much – in fact, you probably won’t even notice the difference to your pay – but those small, regular amounts add up to make a huge difference in helping us empower the next generation of Indigenous leaders.

Events

Yalari Gala Dinners & Cocktail Function

Each year, Yalari hosts a number of gala dinners in capital cities across Australia. These special events celebrate the achievements of our students and alumni and the shared dedication of all those who are providing life-changing opportunities for Indigenous children around Australia.

Fundraising Events

Each year, Yalari supporters take part in various fundraising events to help provide life-changing educational opportunities for Indigenous children. Register for one of the events below to start fundraising.

A Gift in Your Will

Leaving a gift in your will is a wonderful way to ensure your legacy will continue to make a difference for generations to come.

A gift in your will helps us provide life-changing educational opportunities for the next generation of Indigenous leaders who will impact and influence both their communities and wider Australia.

While looking after family and loved ones always comes first, we are grateful for your consideration of an investment into shaping the future through education. We are deeply thankful for every gift we receive, no matter the size.

A gift in your will can be directed to either Yalari Foundation Limited (ABN 69 646 339 219) or Yalari Limited (ABN 66 113 794 148). 

To ensure your gift is correctly received, we suggest including the following wording:

I give the sum of __ Australian dollars or ( __%) of my Estate to (either Yalari Foundation Limited ABN 69 646 339 219 or Yalari Limited ABN 66 113 794 148).

Should you wish to direct your gift for a specific purpose, please contact us to discuss further. This could result in the following wording to be included:

If circumstances make the specified use of this bequest impractical or undesirable, Yalari Limited or Yalari Foundation Limited is authorised to apply this bequest to other purposes; such purposes, however, to conform as much as possible to the spirit and intent of this bequest.

We understand that deciding on matters pertaining to your will is deeply personal, and we encourage you to consult with legal professionals to ensure your intentions are properly expressed.

If you have already included a gift in your will to Yalari, we would be delighted to hear from you. We are humbled by your kindness and so grateful for your support.

Yalari Foundation

The Yalari Foundation is home to the Mary Boydell Endowment Fund. Contributions to the Foundation don’t fund today’s scholarships. They build the permanent base that ensures Yalari can support students in 20, 50, 100 years’ time. Every dollar invested here grows, and the returns fund scholarships in perpetuity.
