Our Heroes
Our Heroes
At REACH, we firmly believe that collaboration is key to maximising the impact that we have within the local community.
We value our relationships with trusted partners, advocates and supporters to ensure long-term sustainability of our programs. Each year we search for generous corporate/individual partners to step up as our annual Match Grant Heroes. It is thanks to their generous donations into our Matching pool that each year we are able to raise substantial funds to support our poverty-alleviating programs.
Meet Our 2025 Match Grant Heroes
Our 2025 ‘Double Your REACH’ campaign has been made possible by our Match Grant Heroes who pledged a collective $55,000AUD towards our 2025 Double Your REACH campaign.
