The success of Reach over the past 15 years has been enabled by the loyal and ongoing support of a large range of corporate organisations, trusts, foundations and government agencies. Reach has grown from working with a small group of teenagers to now running programs for over 58,000 young people each year across Australia. this has only been possible because of the significant support of our funders and individual supporters, many of whom have been with us since our beginning in 1994.
In addition to supporting Reach financially, these organisations also provide volunteers at programs, corporate participants for Camp Maasai and promotion and attendance at our key events, such as the Annual Ball, and the Breakfast with the Stars. Many also provide vital in-kind services including legal support, design and insurance. Their loyalty, generosity and support are deeply appreciated and essential to the ongoing growth and success of The Reach Foundation.
