The Noosa Foundation strongly encourages donors to support school, university and other training by donating to the Foundation and specifying “education” as the charitable cause you want to support.
You will be helping financially challenged;
- school age children get some of the extra study, social and activities that will make their school years more memorable and keep them engaged in their studies to offer life long improvement in opportunities
- school leavers and mature age students enrolling in university study to boost their lifelong employment and income opportunities
- locals of all ages to engage in trade and other training certificates to give them career opportunities they might otherwise miss out on

Revolutionary Thought; Not All Noosa Kids Rich
People think of Noosa as "rich" so why donate to local education charities. In fact, Noosa average wealth is just that; the Australian average. And some 1013 kids are from the lowest 25% income families.
School Education Support
A good school education is critical if financially disadvantaged children are going to have a better career and life. Far too many drop out from schooling because they can’t afford activities or they are different and don’t find school a pleasant experience
University Education Support
School leavers and Mature Age students wanting to go to university face a host of non-tuition costs as well. This can be too much for finacially-disadvantged students and they drop out. You can help cover these extra expenses of such students and get them started on a much more successful career path.
Vocational Education Support
Many school leavers will not go on to University. They will go into the building trades, retail, office admin and a host of other vocational careers. The good news is they can increasingly study VET at school. The bad news is not all can afford the extra fees. Learn how you can help.
