Our sponsors / partners
Light Up Autism Foundation would like to acknowledge the generous sponsorship of.
Seed funding for Light Up Autism Foundation’s pilot program came from Bendigo Bank and Southern Peninsula Community Fund, through their work together in the Community Enterprise Foundation, with contributions of $10,000 each, and their support continues into 2014. We are so grateful for their initial support of our program & our on-going relationship with them both.
The Community Enterprise™ Foundation is the charitable arm of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank. Through the Foundation they are able to create a pool of money to help build stronger communities through funding programs for families, youth, health, education, the environment, the arts and lots more.
They do this by collecting donations in a tax-effective way from individuals, businesses and governments. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and the Foundation’s own trustee, Sandhurst Trustees, are two companies which have already committed to make ongoing donations.
Their Foundation also offers communities with a unique opportunity to build their own pool of funds for distribution by Trustees in consultation with their own community representatives. Effectively, each community has access to its ‘own’ charitable foundation.
Mornington Peninsula Shire, via the Community Grant Scheme has contributed total funding of over $4,000 in 2013, to help us meet both programming and fundraising objectives for our future.
The Rye Lions Club are known for their many good works within the community on the southern Mornington Peninsula, and after providing their wonderful Sausage Sizzle support during our fun run at the end of 2013, have followed on by very generously donating to our program for 2014 and sponsoring a child for the year.
