Guided by our values and experience, we create spaces that serve not only the people who live and work in them, but the wider community. We give back because we are part of it.
Our efforts are future-focused. We back initiatives that help young people and families access the tools, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive—because resilient communities grow when their next generation is empowered and cared for.
We believe that investing in young people is investing in the future of our communities. Every initiative we support is a step toward building stronger, more connected neighbourhoods.
—Graham Potts, Founding Director
The Ricky Stuart Foundation was established in 2011 with support from PwC to help Ricky Stuart raise awareness for autism following his daughter Emma Ruby Stuart’s diagnosis at age 9. Its mission is to support autism wellbeing and provide families with the resources and funding they need.
The Foundation opened The Ricky Stuart House, Canberra’s first respite home for children with disability, offering flexible short-term care tailored to family needs in an NDIS environment. This was followed by The Emma Ruby House, designed to support teenagers with autism and other disabilities.
Amalgamated proudly contributed to the Foundation’s inception and continues to provide ongoing financial support.
Established in 2002, Kulture Break supports the wellbeing and empowerment of young people through the Arts. By providing dance classes, mentoring, workshops, and performances, children and teenagers can express themselves, build confidence, and be enabled to live a purposeful life in a safe and active environment.
Since its inception, Kulture Break has reached over 400,000 young people across schools, community programs, and correctional facilities in Australia and internationally. Amalgamated’s Development Manager, Michael D’Elboux, has volunteered with the organisation for many years.
RAW Potential has been supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged youth in the ACT since 1986. Receiving no government funding, the organisation relies on donations to provide guidance, practical skills, and positive role models, helping young people break the cycle of disadvantage and realise their potential. Their programs focus on building confidence, life skills, and pathways to meaningful opportunities.
Amalgamated has supported RAW Potential through sponsorship and fundraising, including as a lead sponsor of the 2019 Long Lunch, which raised funds for a new mobile outreach van.
