Why we exist
There are over 500 000 not-for-profit groups in Australia, all bringing amazing benefits to their communities. Our schools are served by generous P&C associations, helping improve the education of our children. Countless sports and leisure groups connect us socially, providing avenues for growth and fulfilment. And where would we be without our compassionate charities who work tirelessly to enrich the lives of those less fortunate and affect great change in our world?
It is very rewarding work, but not without its challenges. The extent to which these groups are able to fulfil their purpose is highly dependent on the capability of their volunteers and their ability to raise funds.
This is where Bolsta come in! We live in this space and have all done so since 1995. Our mission is to develop and inspire the growth of exceptional fundraisers and highly effective volunteers. Our impact will enable organisations to extend their reach and amplify the great work they do.
