Raise Foundation

Raise Foundation
The Raise Foundation champions the philosophy that ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’  This belief is brought to life through structured support networks in secondary schools across Australia—including mentoring programs and development workshops—that help young people become resilient, capable, and connected.

From 2015 to 2025, the Ottomin Foundation proudly partnered with the Raise Foundation to support its in-school mentoring program. In addition to financial contributions, members of the Ottomin Foundation Charity Committee have actively participated as mentors—working directly with students to help them develop essential life skills such as goal-setting, decision-making, and problem-solving, all of which contribute to improved wellbeing. The Foundation also periodically sponsors Raise’s annual gala fundraising event, the Sparkle Ball, further reinforcing its commitment to youth empowerment and community engagement.

“Since mentoring I have smiled more often… I remember what my mentor told me to do when I’m sad which made me re-think my negative thoughts. That helped me improve my mindset a lot.”
