Partnerships

The Clontarf Foundation is committed to an ongoing relationship with our students; we stay in these boys’ lives and ensure the support, mentoring and advocacy is continuous. To do this we need ongoing relationships and support from our partners and advocates.

Why partner with the Clontarf Foundation

The Clontarf Foundation partners with more than 200 corporate, philanthropic and local organisations across Australia. Partnering with the Clontarf Foundation can provide you with:

  • Knowledge that your organisation and employees are supporting the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and benefitting young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men to participate more meaningfully in society across Australia;
  • Tangible delivery of achievements in education and employment for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men;
  • Access to work-ready Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men who have completed Year 12 and are searching for sustainable and fulfilling employment;
  • Access to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are keen to engage in school-based traineeships and/or work experience while they study;
  • Opportunities to immerse your staff in a wide range of social and/or employment based engagement activities with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students;
  • Acknowledgement as a supporter of our Foundation – a nationally-recognised leader in engaging and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to complete their education and gain secure employment.

Partnerships are managed from our Perth, Darwin, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide offices and involve strong links between locally appointed ‘Clontarf champions’ from partner organisations and Clontarf staff. An important component of our partnerships is the development of strong relationships between students, academy staff and the partners and communities who support the programme.

Please contact our General Manager – Partnerships & Communications, James McNamee on (08) 9356 2500 or via email jmcnamee@clontarffoundation.com.au to find out how your organisation can partner with the Foundation and become part of the Clontarf story.

Wesfarmers is proud to be a founding partner of the Clontarf Foundation since 2001. In that time, we have seen the relationship flourish as the Foundation has grown from a single academy in Western Australia to well over 100 academies located in every mainland state and territory. Our partnership is one of true national scale, evident through the numerous engagements, activities and positive employment outcomes occurring across all our businesses, in metropolitan and regional centres. We take great pleasure in seeing how Clontarf enriches the lives of so many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys and young men, and seeing them give back to their communities.

The Ian Potter Foundation is a proud supporter of the Clontarf Foundation. We are particularly impressed by the professionalism and care that Clontarf's management and operational teams apply in every facet of their roles supporting so many young Indigenous boys. The Ian Potter Foundation is particularly keen to support Clontarf in its efforts to transition many young men out of a secondary school education into suitable forms of sustainable employment. Ultimately, we expect Clontarf to continue to improve educational attainment and employment outcomes for a growing number of Indigenous boys and young men, supporting a growing number of productive members of Australian society.

The secret to Clontarf's success is empowering the boys in their programme. It is their choice to join the academy, and their choice to come to school. The Clontarf Foundation is working hard every day, issue by issue, boy by boy. I am very proud that Deutsche Bank is helping this remarkable group of role models.
