What amazing work🤩! The Daylesford Foundation truly change the lives of kids and their families. We’re so grateful for all that they do 🙏😊🙏

What a year it has been for The Daylesford Foundation.
From distributing $67,000 in FY2020 (our first full year of operations), to $325,000 distributed in our community this year, The Daylesford Foundation has become a key provider of support to residents of Hepburn Shire.
Structured giving via many community partners including all 13 schools in the region ensures funds go precisely where they are needed.
Our Local Impact fund provides food and fuel vouchers and essential items, delivers practical, timely and compassionate assistance to people in times of crisis.
Our Student Support Program not only provides financial support but also dignity and opportunity to children and families who might miss out on experiences many of us take for granted.
Our early intervention program helping students struggling with literacy is so important, it prevents students from falling behind in later years and disengaging from education.
Literacy is more than just the ability to read; it’s a key that unlocks access to opportunity, empowerment, and lifelong learning.
Scholarships, since commencing the program in 2022 the foundation has awarded 34 scholarships to local students for either university, TAFE apprenticeships, traineeships, or direct assistance to employment. Plus 69% of University scholarships are first-in-family to go to University, an achievement we're especially proud of.
It gives us great heart to see the foundation flourish to help so many people in our community. There can be no greater investment!
Since inception the foundation has invested over $1.2M into our community and provided over 9,700 instances of assistance around Hepburn Shire.
And, as we have done from the start, we will continue to pay all business/admin expenses of the foundation so that every cent of every dollar donated reaches those who need it.
We would like to sincerely thank the tireless members of the board who freely give of their time and expertise.
To our donors, volunteers, and community partners our heartfelt thanks, without you all our vision would not have become a reality.
And, if you want to get involved and help The Daylesford Foundation help our local community, please reach out. we'd love to hear from you.

Congratulations to all our students who participated in the Goldfields Cross Country today! With the sun shining, it was a fantastic day filled with determination, resilience and outstanding sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see everyone cheering on not only their fellow DPS friends, but also friends from other schools.

We are incredibly proud of the effort each and every student put in—what an achievement!

A special congratulations to those students who will be representing our school at the next level. We wish you the very best of luck!
