Support disadvantaged students in Australia and you’re doing more than giving money. You’re telling a young person that they matter. That their future is worth fighting for, even when circumstances say otherwise.
At A Start in Life, we’ve been walking alongside students facing financial disadvantage since 1923. More than a century of showing up for kids who need someone in their corner. Every donation we receive goes directly to personalised support, the kind that helps a student stay engaged in learning, build real confidence, and start to dream bigger than their circumstances allow.
We’re not a large bureaucracy. We’re a small, focused team, and that means when you make a donation in Australia, your support reaches the students who need it fastest.
We’ve partnered with MyCause to make fundraising easy and secure. Create your own fundraising page, personalise your story and start collecting donations in just a few clicks.
We’re here to support your fundraising journey every step of the way. Choose a way to get started:
Mark your birthday, wedding, graduation or milestone by asking for donations in place of gifts. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate while making a lasting impact.
Honour someone special by supporting a cause they would be proud of. Set up a memorial fundraiser to celebrate their life and help students thrive.
From fun runs to bake sales or trivia nights – the possibilities are endless! Bring your community together to support a cause that changes lives.
