Braidwood & District Education Foundation

Braidwood & District Education Foundation is a community-driven non-profit organisation dedicated to helping local youth achieve their post-high school education, training, and vocational goals. Recognising the added financial strain that rural students often endure, BDEF works tirelessly to bridge this gap, so beautiful dreams and aspirations are never held back because of prohibitive costs. Through various fundraisers, events, and generous donations from local residents and businesses, BDEF has been able to provide vital financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand.

BDEF's commitment to supporting a diverse range of education and career pursuits—from apprenticeships and traineeships to degrees and diplomas—demonstrates the organisation's deep understanding of the unique challenges that rural students face. The foundation also takes pride in acknowledging the potential of the youth in the area, valuing commitment, drive, and passion over academic success.

As a member of the BDEF team, you will become part of a purpose-driven organisation that truly makes an impact in the lives of the students it supports. Join BDEF and be a driving force for change in your local community as you help to shape the future of our brightest rural students.
