From the time we are born we have a desire to belong. The most precious gift we can give our children is the ability to be and feel connected to their communities. With a focus on the future, the Telstra Foundation ® supports community organisations that share our vision of making a positive and lasting difference to the lives of Australia’s children and young people.
The Telstra Foundation Community Development Fund supports projects with one purpose in mind – to connect children and young people to their communities.Regular contact with family, friends and community, contact between young people and their parents, telephone and internet access and access to basic human entitlements are critical to a child and young person’s health and wellbeing.
Telstra’s Kids Fund is a valuable means by which Telstra employees can direct Telstra’s philanthropic giving and support their local communities across Australia.
The Telstra Foundation shares its knowledge and reports on its activities with the wider community. Our yearly reports, media releases and announcements are available to download.
