Welcome to the first edition of the monthly Foundation Purpose Paper where we quickly feature all things Flight Centre Foundation, volunteering, giving, people and impact in Australia!
Flichella Funhouse
For the first time in 25 years, Flighties from across Australia came together to celebrate the end of financial year and the return to travel after a 2-year hiatus. As always, the Foundation was present and took full advantage of our people's giving spirit.
We raised over $1,500 for GIVIT's Indigenous Support Appeal during NAIDOC week. This means that First Nations families were able to get items they urgently needed. For more information head to the GIVIT website.

Good Giving Guru
This month our Good Giving Guru goes to the entire Flight Centre Travel Group. As of July, FCTG is now once more matching our people's donations, dollar for dollar!
This means more money will make its way into the hands of our new charity partners, generate much needed funds for vulnerable communities and continue to fuel our Giving Grants program
