Our supporters are reimagining what’s possible for communities across Australia 

SVA Supporters include individuals, families and Private Ancillary Funds, whose generosity tackles Australia’s toughest social challenges. Every gift matters – each supporter helps create opportunities to drive meaningful change.

Here are some of the ways you can help fast-track innovative, long-term solutions across our key focus areas – early years, education, employment, housing and homelessness and First Nations. Together, we:

  • Create opportunities for people and communities experiencing disadvantage
  • Build coalitions that break down barriers across sectors
  • Invest in approaches that deliver measurable impact
  • Back and help build evidence and thought-leadership to influence social practice and policy
  • Scale solutions nationally

What you’ll experience as a supporter

All of our supporters are part of a community where they connect, learn and see the real impact of their generosity. We’ll stay in touch with you regularly, with stories and insights that show your gift in action.

SVA Supporters Network

Supporters who are able to make a deeper annual commitment of $10,000 or more are included in the SVA Supporters Network – a community of philanthropic leaders shaping long-term change at scale. This group enjoys opportunities to engage more closely with SVA’s work:

  • Hear directly from SVA leaders and experts through exclusive briefings
