At The Smith Family, we believe that education is one of the world’s most powerful change agents. That’s why we focus on helping young Australians to overcome educational inequality caused by poverty.
As a national, independent charity, every day we work with thousands of children and their families to help them unlock better futures for themselves.
A message from The Smith Family CEO - Doug Taylor
It's a great honour to be The Smith Family’s CEO. I believe the organisation is a 'national treasure' because of the difference we make through education in the lives of so many Australian children and young people.
Supporting a child’s education is one of the best ways to help them to create better futures for themselves. By giving children and young people the support and resources they need to achieve their full potential, our impact will have a lasting effect on those we help today, and for generations to come.
One in six Australian children and young people experiencing poverty1 need our support to make the most of their education. I urge you to explore our website to learn more about this important issue, our programs, and how you can make a difference.
We are truly grateful to the many thousands of caring Australians who support the work we do for families in need. Without your generosity, our work in 90 communities across Australia simply wouldn't be possible.
