First Day of kindergarten signals start of fundraising year
As Australia’s three and four year old children start their first day of kindergarten, parents and
staff are starting to think about fundraising for their kinder.
Many kindergartens throughout Australia are in need of more funds to provide the educational
resources required to provide a good start to a child’s education.
Kinder Kids Australia, a part of Try Youth & Community Services (TRY), assists kindergartens and
childcare centres with fundraising and helps provide funds to purchase new educational
resources to ensure kindergartens can keep their fees low and ensure every child has access to
a kindergarten education.
“Government rebates and fees are sometimes not enough to ensure kindergartens have new
and current educational resources. That’s why we started Kinder Kids Australia, so that we can
help kindergartens and childcare centres help themselves and also provide funds for some of
the most needy” said Damien Mowlam, CEO of Try Youth & Community Services.
Kinder Kids Australia is seeking donations of $4 a month to help provide educational resources
to kindergartens most in need.
The donations are received by Try Youth & Community Services and donations over $2 are tax
deductible.
