Join the sandwich-making army!

It's time to get your gloves on for Eat Up Australia - and help get sandwiches into empty lunchboxes. 

1 in 8 children are going to school hungry every day.

Eat Up are all about changing that. With the generous help and lunch-making skills of a dedicated army of hospitality students and volunteers, Eat Up make and deliver hundreds of lunches a month to schools in Melbourne and surrounds. 

Join us with your family in 2019 as KiP joins the Eat Up sandwich making army! This event is suitable for school aged children, with sandwiches delivered to hungry tummies in schools for the following week. 

Please note, one adult per family/group must attend with purchased ticket. In addition to our combined effort, a portion of money raised through ticket sales will be donated to Eat Up. 

Places are limited so book in quick, and follow KiP for more updates!

We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely, 
The KiP Team ⭐️

Kids In Philanthropy. Purpose of Kids In Philanthropy There are two primary reasons for the establishment of KIP: 1. To grow the culture of giving and philanthropy in Australia by engaging children in meaningful opportunities to learn, grow, develop leadership and harness their giving power. 2. To address the significant disadvantage in many Sydney communities, that continues to result in increasingly negative outcomes for families, and children in particular. A comprehensive study conducted by Queensland Institute of Technology’s Centre for Philanthropy and Non‐Profit Studies in 2008, titled: “Good Times and Philanthropy: Giving by Australia’s Most Affluent” revealed that Australia’s wealthy continue to give comparatively less than their US and UK counterparts, despite the increasing wealth and prosperity gains over the last several years. Australia essentially lags in its propensity to give. Australia’s not for profit sector is of considerable size and contribution. The ‘economically significant’ not for profit organisations contributed just under $43 billion to GDP in 2006/07 and employed just under 900,000 staff*. The sector relies heavily on the philanthropic contributions of Australian donors. The very social fabric of our society relies on the growth of philanthropic contribution, a giving culture that is robust, and embedded into the values of children passed on through their families and formal education. Growing the culture of giving in Australia to the degree that is required, necessitates our children being given the opportunity to foster their own practices of giving ‐ guided by inspiring role models and encouraged by parents and family. · Australian Government Productivity Commission, “Contribution of the Not For Profit Sector: Productivity Commission Research Report, January 2010” pg. xxvi Despite Sydney being generally perceived as a safe and comfortable city with a high standard of living, this is not the case for many people. Kids In Philanthropy notes that in Australia, 14.7% of children are living in poverty. UNICEF's report on child poverty in OECD countries revealed that Australia had the 14th highest child poverty rate, which falls in the middle of international ratings. The overall Australian population poverty rate (as per the 2006 census) was estimated to be 2.84 Million. More specifically we know this about our own city ‐ Sydney (source: Sydney Community Foundation) ‐ the Federal Government has identified 48 suburbs of highly concentrated socioeconomic disadvantage in Sydney, characterised by: • 85% of residents live with the impact of mental illness, either their own, or a family member or friend • 82% of migrants from Haiti, 71% from Rwanda and 53% from Afghanistan have a weekly personal income of less than $250 • 35% of indigenous high school students are below minimal literacy standards • 44% of all homeless people in Sydney are women (there are 46,000 homeless women in Australia) The activities of KIP can be divided into three clear areas: 1. Growing the Fund’s social investor base and delivering both personal and leadership development opportunities to investors (children and their families); and 2. Providing funding to community groups/organisations to deliver agreed programs to create positive social change for children in disadvantaged communities; and 3. Monitoring, evaluation and research. Kids In Philanthropy, together with the Sydney Community Foundation is committed to ongoing measurement and evaluation of the economic, social and individual impact of it’s programs.
