Corporate Partnerships Our strong and mutually beneficial relationships with our corporate partners is thanks to their willingness to share their: Time – critical volunteers in a time of volunteer scarcity in Australia Treasure – program sustainability through fundraising and donations Talent – sharing best in class resources and creative commercial solutions Our Principal, Major, and Corporate partners are an intrinsic part of our organisation. Their holistic approach and long-term investments have enabled us to grow sustainably and to drive maximum impact. The special support from our In-Kind Partners, including our friends at JCDecaux and Foxtel, has been pivotal in giving us access to out-of-home and TV media opportunities to help build brand awareness. Existing Principal Partnerships Goodman Our long-term partnership with Goodman has gone from strength-to-strength since its inception in 2015. During 2020-21 they provided critical emergency pandemic funding, and we are thrilled to announce that in 2022 a multi-year agreement to support 765 young people over the next three years was formed. We thank Goodman for their continual support and dedication. Future Generation Australia Future Generation’s extraordinary gift to Raise is one- of-a-kind unrestricted funding and we’re extremely grateful to have a supporter who understands the benefit of versatile funding. FGX funding increases each year due to the success of the fund, and we receive invaluable mentoring from their team.

Macquarie Macquarie is the epitome of a generous partner. As one of our first major partners, they have provided hundreds of mentors, supported our technology build, and taught us commercial acumen. Macquarie is a founding supporter of the Together for Youth Collaboration initiative – an Australia wide collection of purpose-driven organisations delivering critical wellbeing support in high schools – and in 2022, Macquarie hosted the inaugural Together 4 Youth Summit. We know that by collaborating with our peers we can achieve more and we’re grateful that Macquarie understands this too. Zurich The reliable and generous support of the Zurich Foundation during our long-standing partnership has enabled us to forecast each year and achieve long- term goals. Our Mental Wellbeing Grant runs from 2020 to 2025 and has helped us to expand into more states as part of our Strategic Impact Plan. Priceline Priceline Sisterhood Foundation’s support in helping us implement parts of our Strategic Impact Plan has driven transformational change. Their financial gifts over many years enabled us to bring new programs into new locations across the country, while their thought leadership helps us solve business problems, such as building a mentor waitlist to reduce the burden of annual recruitment.
