Our impact

Ecstra Foundation exists to help build the financial wellbeing of all Australians within a fair financial system. We want Australians to be confident making money decisions today, and to be planning for the future.

Ecstra’s impact areas to achieve change are:

Financial education – more Australians have access to financial education, guidance and help at the times they need it

Strong communities – community led solutions build financial confidence, resilience and wellbeing

Consumer care – targeted initiatives result in improved access, support and outcomes for consumers, backed by strong regulatory settings

Our role

To achieve impact across these areas, Ecstra focuses on four core activities:

Provide grants to support and strengthen community financial capability and wellbeing
Develop, deliver and evaluate financial education and awareness initiatives
Engage with communities and organisations focused on improving consumer outcomes
Measure, evaluate and share our evidence and insights

Ecstra takes a collaborative and evidence-based approach to partnerships. We work with stakeholders across the community, government, education and private sectors to ensure the best ideas, successful programs and “What Works” outcomes and impacts are shared widely.

Ecstra’s Impact Framework outlines how we seek to achieve impact.
