Coasties are being urged to donate to The Smith Family Winter Appeal before it closes on June 30.
On the Central Coast in 2023/24, The Smith Family supported more than 1200 students experiencing disadvantage through its Learning for Life scholarships, partnering with about two dozen schools.
In the past year, the organisation has reached more than 178,400 children and young people nationally through its proven programs, and supported the education of more than 67,000 students.
The charity is reliant on donations to fund its educational programs, enabling children and young people to create better futures for themselves.
“If you want to give to a charity that is making a life-changing and tangible difference and you’d like a tax-deductible donation, the time to give is now as we come to the end of our Winter Appeal,” CEO Doug Taylor said.
“Every dollar given by supporters is put to good use.
“We have partnerships with over 780 schools nationally and are located in 91 communities across Australia.
“Donations assist us in delivering our evidence-based programs crucial to helping students engage with their schooling, keep up with their peers and reach their educational potential.
“A tax-deductible donation to a charity before June 30 is a great way to minimise your tax bill.
“It’s good for the hip pocket and, most importantly, the heart.
“And if it’s outcomes you want for your charity dollar, The Smith Family delivers on that too, with a full breakdown of what we achieve available via our annual report.”
