The Milner Road Foundation aims to provide educational opportunities to disadvantaged young people in South Australia.  

This focus reflects our belief that education is the best pathway to upward socio-economic mobility and a better life. 

We will consider supporting educational opportunities

·        for all ages, from early childhood to tertiary and adult education,

·        for vulnerable cohorts such as asylum seekers and refugees, Indigenous young people and homeless young people, 

·        that take place inside and outside of mainstream educational settings, and

·        that will improve not only the knowledge and skills of participants, but also their physical, mental and social health.

We have a particular interest in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), which we consider crucial for a stronger Australia that will be economically competitive on a global stage.  

We prioritise organisations and initiatives that employ innovative approaches, can demonstrate outcomes, and receive less than twenty per cent of their funding from government sources.

Our vision is for a more inclusive Australia, where everyone can access opportunities to improve their lives.
