Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa! However you choose to celebrate, we hope you have a safe and enjoyable festive season with your friends and family.

The Foundation would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that shared this year with us from our tenacious fundraisers, everyone who attended one of our events and/or volunteering session and especially to those who have been generous enough to participate in our Workplace Giving program. We are here because of passionate people like you!

Meet the 2022 Giving Grant Winners!

Earlier this month we announced the 2022 winners of our biggest campaign of the year - The Giving Grants Program. Congratulations to STEPS Pathways College, Zoe Support Australia, Meals with Impact, Brainwave Bikes and For Change Co

Each charity will receive a $15,000 grant to bolster their work in creating employment pathways for vulnerable and disadvantaged community groups throughout Australia.

Over the coming weeks we will be profiling each winner to showcase their vision, mission and the incredible people working behind the scenes to help. For our people, keep an eye on the Foundation Workplace group and for our customers, we will showcase this content via our LinkedIn profile.

Congratulations again to our winners, finalists and the 50 charities who submitted applications.

Speaking of LinkedIn

Last month we officially launched the Flight Centre Foundation LinkedIn page where we'll be sharing updates on the Foundation, profiles on our charity partners, our Giving Grants winners and more.

Since we're new, we'd appreciate it if you could give the page a follow, and maybe even share our first post to your network to start spreading the word! Thanks in advance!

That's a WRAP on our Christmas Giving!

This year, the Foundation partnered with our Purpose Pillar charity, The Pyjama Foundation to bring a little extra joy to the lives of children living in foster care.

And you delivered like Santa on Christmas Eve with around 400 gifts being donated across the country and more still coming thanks to the efforts of FCM Meetings & Events.

Shout for Good

Did you know that the Foundation has partnered with Shout for Good, giving our people and our customers a platform to make one-off or regular donations? This is in addition to our regular Workplace Giving program.

Money raised through this platform will benefit our charity partners and help us fund next year's Giving Grants. So go on, share the good news with your network and help us make an impact in vulnerable communities where we live, work and travel.
