Our supporters are reimagining what’s possible

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 communities. 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

As an SVA Supporter, you’ll be part of a community where you can connect, learn and see the real impact of your generosity. We’ll stay in touch regularly, sharing stories and insights that show your gift in action.

Deepen your impact with the SVA Supporters Network
