Darden EMBAs support the Clontarf Foundation

Please donate as you are able. Thanks for supporting this cause!

We had the pleasure of hearing from this inspiring not for profit on our global trip in Australia. This is an organization near and dear to Professor Shane Dikolli and they are doing important work.

It was an absolute highlight to see what The Clontarf Foundation has been able to accomplish by providing support, opportunity and mentorship to Aboriginial and Torres Strait Islander boys.

We are hopeful to collectively sponsor [TO BE DETERMINED].

The funds will be released to Shane who plans to present the funds to Clontarf on our behalf.

Who We Are and What We Do

The Clontarf Foundation uses a unique, innovative and highly successful approach to target one of the most at risk groups in contemporary Australian society – young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.

Using the existing passion that these boys have for sport allows Clontarf to initially attract them to school, and then keep them coming. It is however, not a sporting programme – it’s about developing the values, skills and abilities that will assist the boys to transition into meaningful employment and achieve better life outcomes.

The Foundation partners with schools and communities to create ‘Clontarf academies’ which are embedded within the school grounds and education programme.

Please see their webpage for further information. https://clontarf.org.au/ And please note, per the IRS, international donations are not tax deductible.

On behalf of all of us on the Global Australia trip, we send gratitude.
