Working with charities for more than 70 years

We make grants to help ensure the voices of charities are heard at policy tables, nationally and regionally.

We help charities address policy issues in the field of early childhood education and care.

We make grants to charities that are finding new ways of working together.

We provide bursaries to allow charities to send their staff or key volunteers to courses and programs that will help the charities become more effective.

We make grants to assist charities to get specialized training.

We commission research on issues involving the charitable sector in general and early childhood education and care specifically.

We publish or distribute material that may be useful to charities in their governance work – helping boards organize themselves and suggestions of good practices.

We carry out our own activities focusing on charity regulation and early childhood education and care.

We can sometimes make available loans or lines of credit to registered charities.

We can sometimes facilitate discussions, and one of our staff members has been trained in mediation and arbitration (for matters other than employment situations).
