KiP assists local community organisations, providing relief to those who need it most

Who we are.

Founded in 2012, Kids in Philanthropy (KiP) has evolved to become one of Australia’s most talked about, dynamic, not for profit youth charities.

In collaboration with our charity partners, KiP creates bespoke volunteering programs for children, families, schools, and organisations.

We give participants the opportunity to learn about social issues within their community, and then directly help those doing it tough.

KiP's volunteers make food, pack care hampers, create gifts, and more, providing relief and hope to thousands of young Australians in need. These gifts are distributed on behalf of KiP via our charity partners.

Since inception, KiP has developed strong partnerships with more than 20 local charities.

DID YOU KNOW?

?

Philanthropy is about the giving of one’s time, talent and treasure… not just money!



Are you willing to give up your time to attend a KiP session?



Can you help us make items to keep people living on the street warm?



Or maybe you can donate items to those that don’t have enough?

If you answered yes to these...

you’re a philanthropist!

Our programs.

There are many KiP programs to choose from. We can also tailor one specifically for you and your organisation.

‘Agents For Change’ School Incursions

Tailor Made School Programs AGENTS FOR CHANGE is customised to each school’s needs, areas of study, curriculum, and timetable. We run a variety of sessions ranging from 2 hour workshops to unit based projects that can be implemented over a term.

KiP can tailor programs that focus on specific social issues the students and school would like to address.

School Holiday Programs And Volunteering Sessions KiP holds bespoke, hands-on sessions during school holidays and throughout the year which are open to the public. We partner with charities to address current social issues within our community.

Sessions range from packing care kits and baking sweet treats for those without food, to making scarves for youth living on the street.

‘Pitch For Change’

Empowering Our Future Changemakers!

PITCH FOR CHANGE participants are given an opportunity to be involved with three different grassroots charities, all of which include a hands-on volunteering element.

Children will learn what each charity does within our community and decide who they want to support with a pre-determined philanthropic gift.

This is a great conversation starter about the allocation of finite resources, which types of social problems the children want to help solve and the issues that exist within our community.

Youth Community Leadership Course Develop the community leaders of the future

KiP runs community leadership programs for school aged children that inspire them to become social changemakers. This program gives youth the practical tools they need to turn their aspirations into action.

‘Hangout For The Homeless’

Concerned about youth homelessness? Here’s how to help…

KiP’s annual HANGOUT FOR THE HOMELESS SLEEP ROUGH event asks youth to give up their bed for the night and get sponsored to raise funds for young people experiencing homelessness.

‘Gift Of Giving’

Show someone you care this festive season The festive season can be particularly tough for those experiencing hardship.

GIFT OF GIVING is all about providing support and a little bit of joy to young people doing it tough during the holiday period.

Sleeping rough for this event means no sleeping in a bed! Participants can be as adventurous and creative as they like. Perhaps a tent in the backyard or some cardboard on the floor... maybe a sleep out at school and get the entire year level involved!

Families come together to learn how those less fortunate may be spending the holiday period, and get involved by helping pack care kits, make sweet treats, and create holiday surprises.

In addition to our HANGOUT SLEEP ROUGH, children can also attend our volunteer session; HANGOUT HANDS ON. Here participants will pack, sort and make goods for local grassroots organisations who work with disadvantaged youth and families. From making scarves to packing toiletries - it is all about providing some relief to our friends living on the street and those in need.

“Getting a hamper made by the kids and knowing they care made such a difference to our Christmas”

HANGOUT HANDS ON is a great event to complement HANGOUT SLEEP ROUGH.

‘Made With Love’ Let’s cook together!

MADE WITH LOVE provides delicious, nutritious, home-made meals for young Australians experiencing food insecurity.

Together with our charity partners, KiP have provided thousands of homemade meals, baked goods, sweet treats as well as countless deliveries of supermarket groceries and essentials.

GIFT OF GIVING is held in late November each year.
