2nd campaign
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The Eat Care Share Fund is a newly-created food security program at CapU to help vulnerable and at-risk students who are struggling with food insecurity. The program supports students across all CapU locations on the North Shore, Sunshine Coast and Sea-to-Sky areas. Many students who struggle with food insecurity also face academic, financial and personal challenges. Having a warm meal can help students finish their studies and have a positive impact on their physical and mental well-being.
The campaign is directed at employees to support students. Donations are voluntary with all proceeds directed to CapU's financial aid, where struggling students can access financial support to help pay for groceries or offset other expenses.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
The 2024 Eat Care Share appeal saw a 75% increase in new employee giving and a total employee donation of $48,485. Combined with an external matching donation, over $96,000 in new financial aid support was raised for students.
