Advancing Youth Foundation

Empowering disadvantaged young people aged 10 to 18 years with digital technology so they can live their best lives.

The hard truth is that many kids, not by their choice, struggle each day with additional challenges—emotional, financial, basic living, abuse, mental health, parental drug and alcohol addiction, and more.

It’s why, for 130+ years, we’ve been helping young South Aussies who require assistance to access positive opportunities, relieve hardship, and build personal capabilities and resiliency.

In our modern, evolving world, the way forward starts with improving digital access and inclusion.

As a grant-making body, we fund work that supports kids at risk by reducing the digital divide.

We offer grants of up to $10,000, sometimes more, to service providers, schools, and not-for-profit organisations in order to help young people from all backgrounds.

South Australia is the second-lowest digitally-inclusive state or territory, with low levels of digital access, literacy and inclusion that directly impact the ability of children to live up to their potential.

We’re changing that with grants that provide digital access and inclusion to disadvantaged young South Aussies who would otherwise fall behind.
