Thank you for your interest in applying for an EduKids Grant from Variety – the Children’s Charity of Queensland.
The Variety QLD EduKids Grant helps improve educational outcomes by providing essential back-to-school stationery items to students experiencing financial hardship. We aim to ensure every child has the tools they need to learn and participate equally.
We partner with Stationery Aid to supply students with tailored booklists. Once an application is submitted online, the student’s booklist is forwarded to Stationery Aid, where their team carefully prepares a Stationery Pack suited to the child’s year level. These packs are created using repurposed and gently used educational resources collected from across Southeast Queensland and Mackay, supporting both sustainability and equity in education.
