In mid 2023 the Boutique Philanthropic Fund committee members met with several WA organisations in need of support both monetary & time related. It was important to us that the organisation we chose to support for the 2024 calendar year aligned with our 4 giving themes:
- Financial Literacy
- Community
- Health & Wellbeing
- The Next Generation
After meeting with Vicky & the team from Dandelions WA, it was clear to us that they easily met the brief.
During the year we have been involved in their backpack packing days, delivering backpacks to the schools and running a drive at the office to collect donations for their backpacks and toiletry bags. We will be running the drive again from November.
Just this last week Dr. Tony Buti MLA, Minister for Education was at the Dandelions WA Kindness Kubby for the announcement of $500,000 in State Government support for their ongoing “Back to School” campaign.
