Donate a Winter Energy Grant

Help students struggling with energy poverty pay for their rising power bills by sponsoring a Winter Energy Grant.

Your gift can take the stress of winter off our hardworking students so they can focus on what matters most—the bright futures ahead of them.

Thanks to several generous corporate donors, every dollar you give until 31 July 2025 will automatically be doubled (up to a total of $25,000) so you can help twice as many students with a single gift. Each $100 Winter Energy Grant ensures our young learners have a warm, healthy, and comfortable home that supports their wellbeing while they study.

Use your debit or credit card to make a one-off gift and help provide Winter Energy Grants to students.
