Our focus with school communities is to connect their students, staff, parents and alumni to the people and programs we work with and support.

Best foot forward campaign hits $1m

2023 marked the fifth and final year of our Giving Day for Best Foot Forward. This campaign was designed to raise money and awareness for ERFA projects supporting marginalised women and girls.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our many ongoing supporters, we managed to reach $1m dollars over the campaign’s history. This is an incredible reflection of the generosity of so many members of the Edmund Rice community – businesses, schools and individual donors.
