Education Foundation

The Education Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to strengthen and improve public education in Australia. The foundation links private funds with the public (government funded) education sector through philanthropic donations and corporate partnerships. The Education Foundation was established in 1989, and has raised $7 million (AUS) which has been invested in the support of public schools, especially among students who are disadvantaged or at risk of dropping out of school.

Programs

The Education Foundation runs five major programs to contribute to public education in Australia:

* The City Centre: a school centre in Melbourne that offers Year 9 and 10 students' weekly, independent intensive learning programs.
* Back To School Day: a national campaign that brings former students back to public schools as role models for today’s young people
* ruMAD? Are You Making A Difference? Encourages students to be young philanthropists and active, caring community participants by freely offering a framework for values based curriculum to all schools.
* Opportunity Scholarships: helps talented, disadvantaged young people achieve their dreams.

Research
