Country Education Foundation of the Namoi

CEF Namoi supports local youth to achieve their career aspirations through post-school education and training.

CEF Namoi

Country Education Foundation of the Namoi (CEF Namoi) was established to provide much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post-high school education, training and vocation aspirations. We recognise that the cost of rural students pursuing their post high school goals is often much greater than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes these costs can be prohibitive.

CEF Namoi fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses to provide financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand. The funds come directly from your local community – none of it is government funded – celebrating the aspirations of local youth and working to help them achieve these aspirations.

👏 Thank you, @upstandingco! 👏

A group of students studying Business at @bonduniversity, called Upstanding, decided to fundraise for us as part of a project they undertook in their studies. 🤩

They had no idea who we were or what we did until they came across us on Google, but still chose us as their charity partner because of the clear impact we have on regional students. 💪

And thanks to their efforts, designing and selling laptop stands, we have more in the kitty to continue helping our rural and regional students access post school education and employment. 🛣️

Read all about how they fundraised for us at our blog link in bio.

We love hearing feedback from the young people we support. Here’s a little something grant recipient, Luca, has to say about CEF Walgett!

In 2024 we have raised $71,500, all of which we’ve allocated to our 26 recipients! It is through support such as this that students like Luca can bring their dreams to fruition.

Make sure to support CEF so we can continue to support our young people!

A garden party with a difference 👩🏻‍🌾❤️🌱

Support rural school leavers from the Orange area who need a little extra help financially to go on to further education or vocation. You’ll get to visit the exquisite Anfield Gardens, meet wonderful like-minded planty people, have the opportunity to listen to renowned landscape architect, Michael Bligh, plus much, much more! There’s even a lovely prize donated by us…totally worth the visit just for that 🤣🤣.

Enjoy the best of Orange in autumn and support a truly valuable cause at the same time ❤️

Our alumna, Kelly Easey from Gunnedah, has come a long way since receiving grant and scholarship funding from CEF in 2014 and 2015. 🛣️

From the tiny locality of Willala, near Gunnedah, NSW, she became the first member of her family to attend university. Having completed her studies in Medicine in 2019 at @unsw, she now has dreams to returning to a regional area as a cardiologist. 🩺

We caught up with her recently to see how her career is progressing. 💪

Meet Kelly here at our Blog link in bio.

Lachlan Riley, from CEF Gilgandra, is as humble and kind as they come, and we`re so thrilled to see him kicking his goals studying a Bachelor of Accounting at the @ouranu. 🎓

It`s a long way to travel from Gilgandra to Canberra, and without the support of our grant and scholarship funding, it may not have been possible.
