At their February monthly meeting on 28/02/25 the Centrecorp Board met and assessed 34 applications for funding of which 29 were approved and 4 declined due to household income or poor school attendance.

Of the 33 applications, 20 were for private school scholarships, 11 were for sporting events for youth, 2 for sporting equipment for community teams and 1 was for electrical goods.

The Centrecorp Foundation Board have sent a strong message that our funding is contingent on parents maintaining a high level of attendance at school.

It is well understood that that good attendance leads to students achieving their full academic potential. We are therefore focusing on attendance for continued funding.

Centrecorp Foundation thanks to Pinchapoo are delivering very important hygiene kits to;

• Drovers – for hospital patients.
• Alice Springs Town Council – for Council Rangers to distribute to rough campers.
• Anyinginyi Health – for clients attending mens and womens health clinics.
• Transition Support Unit – in backpacks for Aboriginal students going off to boarding school (with a few other items added).
• Remote school excursions in Alice Springs – in backpack for Aboriginal students coming into town.
• Womens Shelters in Alice Springs, Ali Curung and Tennant Creek.

• Hygiene Kits

In 2024, Centercorp Foundation made a generous donation of over 100 brand-new washing machines to the Urapuntja Aboriginal Corporation for distribution within the Utopia Homelands. By late 2024, the residents of Arlparra expressed their delight as the new washing machines were installed by Urapuntja Aboriginal Corporation plumber James Liddle, accompanied by Board Chairman Malcolm Loy. The community was filled with gratitude, particularly for residents Helen and Denise, who were among the first recipients of the washing machines.
