How we help

Charity Support
As South Australia’s leading children’s charity, Variety goes beyond our own impactful work by supporting other children’s organisations to achieve their goals.

Other Charities we support

Acting as an umbrella charity, we enable these groups to focus on their strengths while we provide essential funding and support to expand our reach and positively impact more children in South Australia.

This year, Variety granted more than $4 million to 116 different organisations. Here are some of the organisations we proudly support:

AFL Community Programs

The Variety Showdown Shield partnership began in 2018 as the first charity-driven collaboration between the two clubs, with Variety SA holding naming rights to the Shield.

Variety is proud to be a partner of Zoos SA, we hope that through our contribution to the playground development  we will encourage children living with disabilities to venture out in their community and explore the amazing experiences found at Adelaide Zoo.

Every child deserves the chance to thrive. Through the charities and community organisations we support, we help extend the reach of vital programs, services and opportunities for children who need them most.

By working together with trusted partners, we can create greater impact and support more children and families across South Australia. If you’re already doing great work, we’re here to help you strengthen and expand your impact.
