Regular Giving Thank you to our generous supporters who give every month through regular giving, either by signing up via our website or through workplace giving. Regular giving is vital for our sustainability, enabling us to plan ahead. We thank all our corporate partners who promote Raise to their staff and enable payroll donations. Events Many individual gifts come through our events. In 2022, we held the following events: Bishop and Macquarie Private Dinner Generously hosted by Tim and Stacey Bishop, and supported by Macquarie Foundation with remarkable matched funding. This event recognises the importance and generosity of our individual donors. This is a major fundraiser for Raise, and we are incredibly grateful to the Bishop family and Macquarie.

Patron’s Lunch Our annual Patron’s Lunch in May celebrated a number of our partners and supporters. We heard from our patron David Gonski AC and keynote speaker, mindset coach extraordinaire Ben Crowe from Mojo Crowe, who inspired the crowd with his uplifting attitude and ability to use mindset to achieve goals. Tribeca Lunch Hosted by our enthusiastic new Board Director, Jun Bei Liu, with the support of Tribeca Investment Partners, David Aylward and his team, the inaugural Raise Spring Luncheon was an outstanding afternoon. Thanks to our guest’s generosity, enough funding was raised for 25 young people to participate in our program. Back To School Formal After 3 years of cancellations, we were thrilled to host over 250 members of the Raise Village at Luna Park for our major fundraising event of the year, the Back to School Formal. The wonderful November event raised enough funds – through ticket sales, a live auction and a raffle– for 50 young people to join the program.
