Our Approach
Westpac is combining the strength of its four philanthropic foundations — Westpac, St.George, BankSA and Bank of Melbourne — to take on one of Australia’s most pressing challenges: improving maths and reading for Australian children facing disadvantage.
These principles guide how we invest, focus our efforts, and work with partners to improve education outcomes.
Invest
We invest annually in better practice, multi-year grants to organisations advancing equitable education.
Focus
We focus on primary school aged children to close the gaps and lay the foundations for future learning.
Partner
We partner with intermediaries to reduce duplication, identify, scale, and evaluate what works.
Collaborate
We collaborate with Westpac and other funders to maximise impact and tackle system challenges at scale.
