The power of collaboration

We take a partnership approach to all our work. Understanding the perspectives and needs of who we work with is key.
We also have a track record of being involved in collaborative ventures.
Establishing the innovative Fogarty EDvance whole school improvement program involved bringing together people from education, government, universities and business to design and create this high impact program that continues today.
Our Founder also established, and is convenor of, a collaboration of Western Australian funders and philanthropies that support the work of the Investment Dialogue for Australia’s Children in WA.
Impact in action
We can help you to work out which organisations to give to so that you can have a positive impact.
We also assist with determining whether the intended impact is being realised, drawing on our extensive experience in directly pursuing and measuring social impact.
Our unique approach to evaluating opportunities is informed by the lessons learned from a diverse array of donations.
We do this by drawing on expertise we have developed through working to achieve impact ourselves.
For example, Fogarty EDvance not only saw its participant schools achieve improvements in outcomes, but it became – through various means – a source of inspiration for other significant initiatives in Australian education.
This includes initiatives such as the Catholic Education Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn’s highly impactful Catalyst program.
