TechnologyOne Foundation marks 10 years of impact, helping transform the lives of more than 238,000 children and their families

TechnologyOne is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the TechnologyOne Foundation, marking a decade of community investment that has helped more than 238,000 children and their families access education, opportunity and pathways out of poverty.

Established in 2016, the TechnologyOne Foundation was created to make giving back a permanent part of the company's culture and long-term commitment to the communities it serves. Through its 1% Pledge, TechnologyOne commits 1% of profit, 1% of product and 1% of employee time to creating positive social impact.

Over the past decade, the Foundation has supported charity partners across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Africa and Asia, focusing on initiatives that improve access to education, reduce disadvantage and help young people build brighter futures.

The Foundation is now working towards an ambitious goal of helping 500,000 children and their families break the cycle of poverty by 2032.

In the last decade, the Foundation has contributed more than $7.5 million through charitable donations and provided more than $10 million in product discounts to not-for-profit organisations. TechnologyOne employees have contributed more than 48,800 volunteer hours to community initiatives such as cooking for the community with St James College, supported donation drives with Wesley Mission, packing stationery packs for The Smith Family and Dignity Children’s Foundation, mentoring students through the King’s Trust, and helping beautify gardens with the Salvation Army.

Employees also come together through TechnologyOne’s Impact Buses for dedicated volunteering days that give teams the opportunity to step away from their day-to-day roles and support community organisations. They have also contributed to fundraising initiatives including Fred’s Big Run, Dream Run, the Salvos Sleepout, Future Steps, the Noosa Tri, Kokoda Challenges, Movember and Coastrek, with employee fundraising steadily growing over the years to reach $201,000 in FY26, an increase of approximately 88% on the previous year.

School of St Jude Founder, Gemma Sisia, said, “The impact on the School of St Jude has been huge. When we began our partnership, we had no graduates. Today, more than 800 graduates are making a difference as doctors, accountants, nurses, teachers and business leaders. That's the power of long-term investment in education, creating opportunities that transform lives and strengthen communities for generations to come.”

Opportunity International Global Head of Education Finance, Andrew McCusker, said, “TechnologyOne's support is helping more children stay in school and access the education they deserve. For every $1 of grant funding contributed by our partners, around $23 is invested into schools and school fees. Through our partnership, funding is reaching schools and families across Asia, helping remove barriers that prevent children, particularly girls, from continuing their education.”

SolarBuddy Partnerships Manager, Belle Gallop, said, “Over the past decade, TechnologyOne's people have built and donated 6,762 SolarBuddy devices, helping create more than 65 million additional study hours for children living in energy poverty. It's a powerful example of how a simple act can open the door to education, opportunity and a brighter future.”

TechnologyOne Chief Executive Officer, Ed Chung, said the anniversary demonstrated what can be achieved when businesses match success with a sustained commitment to community impact.

"What began as an aspiration to create lasting change has grown into a global effort that is helping thousands of children and families access education, opportunity and a better future. While we're proud of what has been achieved so far, we are just getting started. The impact we have created has been made possible through long-term partnerships with organisations that share our vision for a better future. As we look to the next decade, we are committed to strengthening those partnerships, reaching more young people and creating even greater impact in the communities we serve.”

The milestone follows TechnologyOne being named Queensland Corporate Philanthropist of the Year at the Queensland Philanthropy Awards 2026, recognising the company's long-standing commitment to philanthropy, volunteering and community partnerships.
