Donate to Support Refugees in Australia – Help Us Bake a Better Future

 

o over 

At The Bread & Butter Project, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to build a better life. As Australia’s first social enterprise bakery, we provide refugees with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through our bakery training program, while also receiving English-language education and employment support. When you donate to help refugees, you’re helping someone gain the skills, confidence, and support they need to thrive in their new home.

Your donation directly supports our refugee employment program, which includes bakery training, wraparound support, and job placement assistance. Every gift helps us deliver education, create jobs, and offer employment opportunities for refugees —all while baking high-quality artisan bread that nourishes our community.

By choosing to donate to a social enterprise, you’re backing a model that reinvests 100% of profits into creating real, lasting change. Your generosity helps us continue training refugees, supporting refugee employment, and building a more inclusive Australia. Donate to support employment programs today and be part of a movement that’s changing lives—one loaf at a time.

 

The Bread & Butter Project is a charity registered with the ACNC and holds Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), making all donations over $2 tax-deductible.
