Help train Australia’s next early childhood teachers

The Fraser Foundation aims to provide financial assistance to aspiring educators seeking a rewarding career that shapes the minds of future generations. We have already supported more than 40 deserving educators on the next steps in their professional journey, and we are extremely excited about the objectives and what we will be able to achieve through offering grants and scholarships.

We are now taking donations. The Fraser Foundation is a type 1 deductible gift recipient (DGR), which means donations are tax deductible. This funding will assist us to accomplish our goals. Your donation will go towards paying grants and scholarships to successful applicants, that will provide them with access to tertiary studies and research in the field of early childhood education, ensuring that all children have the opportunity for a successful future.

The Fraser Foundation 2025 Charity Luncheon

Join Us in 2026

All made possible by our incredible partners

We’re incredibly grateful for the support we received at the 2025 Fraser Foundation Charity Luncheon, held at the beautiful Garden Kitchen & Bar on 12 September 2025. The luncheon was a wonderful celebration of our early childhood education community, bringing together supporters, educators, sponsors and advocates to recognise the impact of the Fraser Foundation and help raise funds for the next generation of scholarships.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, purchased raffle tickets, donated, participated in our auctions and shared our mission. With more than 250 guests in attendance, the event was officially sold out, highlighting the incredible generosity and commitment of our community.

Together, we raised over $200,000, with every dollar going towards scholarships and professional development for aspiring and early childhood teachers across Australia. This generosity will help dedicated educators further their studies, overcome financial barriers and continue making a lasting impact on children, families and communities.

One of the highlights of the day was hearing the inspiring stories of scholarship recipients and seeing firsthand the difference that education, opportunity and community support can make. These stories are a powerful reminder of why the Fraser Foundation’s work is so important and why continued support is needed to help more educators achieve their goals.

The luncheon also featured a vibrant silent auction, raffles and live pledges, bringing our community together in support of early childhood education. Beyond the fundraising, the event provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to connect with fellow educators, early learning providers, sponsors and sector advocates, strengthening the network of support that helps uplift early childhood education across Australia.

The success of this year’s sold-out event is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when our community comes together. Every contribution helps break down barriers for passionate educators and creates a ripple effect of learning, growth and opportunity throughout classrooms and communities nationwide.

We’re proud of what we achieved together in 2025 and deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making the Fraser Foundation Charity Luncheon such a memorable and impactful day. With your continued support, we can help even more deserving educators pursue their studies and contribute to the future of early childhood education.
