The Yooralla Foundation

In 2021, the Yooralla Board established a dedicated Foundation for all donations, philanthropic gifts and funding received. Foundation funds remain part of and are covered within Yooralla’s Deductible Gift Recipient-1 (DGR-1) status.

Yooralla Foundation funds are used for the purpose of resourcing activities and initiatives that advance Yooralla’s purpose and aims, as set out in its Constitution to:

• improve the lives of people with disability;
• facilitate the same right of access to services as all Australians;
• give people choice and control over how, when and where supports are provided;
• provide tailored, reasonable and necessary supports for people to achieve their goals and aspirations;
• value the views, knowledge and experience of families and carers; and
• extend the use of Yooralla’s resources to meet the needs of other vulnerable people.

The establishment of the Yooralla Foundation has been inspired by the loyalty and unflagging generosity of supporters over many years. The Foundation honours their intent for their donations and gifts to benefit people with disability.
