You can DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT now to provide a Kick-Start for Queensland Kids
Queensland children are back at school, but too many are starting the year without basic school supplies...
So, to kick-start the school year, an anonymous, generous supporter has offered to MATCH all donations to our 'Kick-Start for Queensland Kids' appeal, up to $100,000!
Every dollar you donate today to help Queensland children will be matched dollar for dollar, up to the value of $5,000. By making a generous gift today, you can double your impact to provide education essentials like stationery, books, uniforms and shoes.
The growing cost-of-living pressures means parents are struggling to afford basic school supplies—making it harder to give their children the education they deserve.
Without the support and resources to start the school year, children across our state will struggle to keep up in the classroom and are more likely to fall behind.
We urgently need to raise vital funds to ensure the 652 children still on the waiting list for support have the essentials they need to make the most of their education this school year.
Because no child should be left behind.
Together, we can show these children and their families we've got their back in these tough times.
Donate now to give children the start they deserve—a real chance to learn, grow, and build a brighter, happier future.

The Problem
Right now, 652 school children on our waiting list urgently need support for essential education supplies.
This school year, there is unprecedented demand for financial support for school supplies as more and more families feel the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.
We urgently need to raise vital funds to help disadvantaged Queensland children learn and reach their potential.
How you can help
YOU can provide a Kick-Start for Queensland Kids to support their education and set them up for a brighter future.
You can provide them with stationery, reading books, uniforms and shoes, to keep up in the classroom and fit in at school.
We urgently need to raise $212,000 to support the remaining 652 children on our waiting list.
The cost-of-living crisis is increasing demand for financial support for school essentials.
YOU can provide stationery, books, technology, uniforms and shoes for Queensland children in need.
Kick-Start the school year for a child like Elijah*
Ten-year-old Elijah is excited to start year 5 this term. But back-to-school is a stressful time for his mum, Bernadette*.
Raising four children alone through the cost-of-living crisis, Bernadette is struggling to make ends meet.
Despite trying her hardest, she can’t provide the essentials Elijah* and his siblings need for school.
“I’m constantly worrying I won’t be able to keep up with bills, or that we might lose our accommodation.
I just want my children to feel equal and valued at school, and to have the right equipment and supplies.”
Thanks to our generous donors and hard-working volunteer members, Elijah will be able to start the school year with a new uniform, all the necessary stationery, and a new pair of shoes.
Donate now to ensure no child in Queensland is left behind this school year
A big thank you to our Supporters
