From record giving to lasting impact

In 2026, 147 children’s charities and organisations will receive vital funding to help change young lives across Western Australia.

This impact is made possible by a community that came together to raise a record-breaking $90.1 million last year.

Behind every outcome is a child, a family and a story filled with hope. Together, we’re helping every child feel supported, valued and full of possibility.
