Our Corporate Partnerships are available to organisations who want to support at-risk members of the community. The offerings are far more in-depth, and are about ensuring the successful delivery of both the organisation’s strategic plan as well as that of the College.
Businesses can donate to one of our targeted programs, or reach out to the College if they would like to engage in a more specific cause to donate to.
We invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on our campuses. As a sponsor, your support is vital to the success of our community development initiatives and the continued excellence of our educational programs.

Margaret Jurd College also welcomes community support through a variety of non-monetary donations that make a difference in the lives of young people and their families.
Your generosity in these ways directly supports the well-being and success of young people in the community.

STOCKING OUR FAMILY PANTRY
with non-perishable food items, ensuring that those in need have access to essential groceries.
donations of pre-loved business wear
are invaluable, providing young people with appropriate attire for job interviews and work experience.
filling christmas hampers
As the festive season approaches, you can help bring joy by filling Christmas hampers with treats and necessities for families.
college supplies
such as classroom and learning materials, transport maintenance and other essential items and services that ensure our young people can attend campus daily, fully prepared to learn.
The College provides breakfast, recess and lunch for each young person, however it was found that some were not eating their lunch, rather taking it home to share with those in their family.
The Family Pantry is a place where a young person can access some simple ingredients, hygiene supplies and even a blanket or two should they need it. Any donations are appreciated for this cause.
Young people in the community look forward to Christmas, but there is a lot of research to suggest that family traditions, such as the festive season, can operate as a huge defence against a young person developing trauma responses.
The College attempts to provide a Christmas hamper to families who need it, to take the stress out of the silly season. The hampers can include things like a leg of ham, dips and spreads, and a few festive treats that are sometimes exactly what is needed. It also makes sure that the sense of excitement for the holidays is long-lasting, as is the connection to the College Community.
To date, we have received many generous donations from several organisations and individual professionals. As we hope to run this program long-term, a donation of business-ready clothes is always appreciated, and any clothes that aren’t utilised during this program are available to our young people for our end-of-year celebration night.
At MJC we charge a very small amount of fees, however, we know times can get financially tough.
By donating to the Fee Waiver initiative, the community assists by allowing the College to waive a young person’s tuition fees, whilst also maintaining the high standard of service delivery that we have become known for.
The Pathways Fund is administered by a committee and can be used to help with anything from Driving Lessons to study books or workplace tools and equipment.
By donating to this cause, you will help grow the Pathways Fund to provide even more opportunities to young people in the community.
A hungry student is unable to effectively engage in learning as their basic needs have not been met. By providing three meals per day for each student, we are ensuring that all of our students are fuelled and ready to learn each day.
This program is always available for our students; it is not entirely dependent on donations. However, donations to this cause will allow MJC to redistribute previously allocated school funding to other areas, including crucial classroom resources.
