Corporate champions

Working with corporate Australia

The past twelve months has ushered in an exciting period of growth in Save the Children Australia’s business development sector. In this time, we have seen an increase in the number of corporate partners and have been thrilled with the enthusiasm, commitment and generosity they have shown. The growth trend is a tribute not only to the hard work of Save the Children’s business development department, but also to the example set by the success of existing partnerships. Save the Children Australia is thankful for the opportunity afforded by the support of the ever-growing Business Alliance to continue with its important work of changing the future of the world’s most impoverished children, both at home and abroad.
