The Kokoda Youth Foundation receives no government funding and relies solely on donations and sponsorship from generous Australians, just like you.
This may be through participating in our fundraising Kokoda Challenge team endurance events, giving one off or recurring monthly donations to our Foundation, purchasing a Play for Purpose charity raffle ticket, or leaving a gift in your will (a bequest).
Everything we do is for the good of the kids and we would love for you to join us in making a difference in young lives through the Spirit of Kokoda.
Transform young Australian lives while strengthening your local community through our impactful Youth Programs and Outdoor Education facilities.
Inspired by the values of the 1942 Kokoda Campaign, we build physical and mental resilience in young people while teaching the enduring values of Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice.
Our ‘Kokoda Kids’ engage with Australian military history, becoming active and informed members of their communities.
Through challenging experiences that test their limits, comprehensive education support, and digital wellness programs, we help young people discover their strengths and realise their full potential.
The Kokoda Youth Foundation is committed to keeping youth engaged in education, reducing unemployment risks, and developing healthy relationships with technology.
Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact young lives and create lasting positive change in your local community.

Any donation of over $1 to the Kokoda Youth Foundation is fully tax-deductible. You can contribute as a one-time donation to support a specific fundraiser or directly to the KYF.
For those looking to provide ongoing support, consider dedicating the cost of your daily coffee (or more!) to a recurring monthly donation. This consistent support significantly enhances our ability to plan and operate our youth programs effectively.
With your help, we can confidently enroll more young people in our programs, positively impacting and transforming even more lives.
After providing for your loved ones, leaving a charitable gift (bequest) can make a profound impact on causes that are important to you or align with your values.
