What is the Education Development Fund?
We are humbled and proud that our Members overwhelmingly support the Education Development Fund (EDF) via voluntary contributions alongside their annual membership fees.
With these vital funds, the EDF provides financial support to uplift and motivate young Western Australians who come from social disadvantage, poverty or in-need communities.
With Members’ generous contributions and CCIWA’s support, our collective efforts enable us to profoundly influence the lives of underprivileged youths, enriching accessibility, fairness and educational outcomes.
Your support genuinely makes a difference.
Our EDF team is contactable via email on [email protected]
