The BNI Foundation has been serving children and education globally since 1998.

The BNI Foundation is helping to change lives by improving circumstances for children facing financial instability that negatively affect their educational opportunities. We are excited that the year 2020 is the inaugural year for BNI Foundation Australia. We support initiatives that provide resources to educators and organisations that make success easier for kids, either by removing barriers or by providing incentives for focusing on studies. For us, the mechanism to help with this shift is investing our time, treasure, and talent to assist in education where we can. We do this through our Business Voices™ Initiative and our Givers Gain® Grant Program.

2024 Christmas Appeal

Christmas is coming…it’s a wonderful time of year with a lot of giving to show people that we care.

The BNI Foundation cares about children’s education. It is an unfortunate scenario that some children are unable to obtain uniforms, school supplies, or engage on a regular basis in the classroom. Schools do the best they can, but they are often under-resourced. The BNI Foundation help schools overcome obstacles to provide the best education they can to all of their students.

This Christmas we are hoping to fundraise $10,000 so we can get off to a record breaking 2025 of giving! Please help us to help Australian children.

Our Christmas Appeal will be commencing 1 November 2024 to Friday 13 December 2024.

Please put us on your Christmas Gift list now and make a difference to one Australian child in 2025. We wish you all the very best!

Help us build our Givers Gain Gift fund

We are about to open another round of Givers Gain Gifts to eligible schools and charities. There is never enough funding to go around. Givers Gain Gifts are small donations we gift to schools to help with those small obstacles schools encounter due to a lack of budget. Schools and charities use these gifts to fund tutors, school supplies, learning tools and for mental health. We are asking for your help to build this fund so we can continue our Givers Gain Gift program. Your donation is tax deductible. Please follow the link and donate today.
