Join Us in Spreading Christmas Joy

At API and canopy Early Education, our mission of enriching lives through community connections continues to shine brightly through our Annual Christmas Giving Program, a heartfelt initiative that brings joy, comfort, and hope to women, young people, and children during the festive season.

With the generous support of our members, families, partners, and the local community, we’re proud to once again contribute gifts to those supported by:

Women’s Legal Service Queensland
The Pyjama Foundation
The Lady Musgrave Trust

This meaningful program is made possible through our ongoing partnership with the Queensland Community Foundation, whose support helps ensure these donations reach those who need them most.

🌟 How You Can Help

This Christmas, we invite our API members and community partners to join us in making spirits bright. Together, we can make a real difference to families facing hardship this festive season.

You can get involved by:
• Donating wrapped and labelled gifts delivered directly to our Brisbane office – Level 2, 160 Wharf Street, Brisbane
• Organising a gift collection at your workplace to contribute to our donation drive

Every donation helps create a Christmas filled with hope, warmth, and love for those who need it most.

The Impact of Your Generosity

The kindness of our members and community partners has already touched many lives. Here’s what some of our partner organisations shared last year:

“The Lady Musgrave Trust is Queensland’s oldest charity, supporting young women and children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness for more than 139 years. canopy Early Education has been a dedicated partner since 2023, providing educational toys to children living in The LMT properties. These gifts bring joy and vital learning opportunities to children who have faced hardship and instability. We are deeply grateful for canopy’s ongoing commitment to our shared vision to end homelessness.”

“On behalf of Women’s Legal Service Queensland, our sincere thanks for your generous Christmas donations. Many of the women we support face domestic violence and financial hardship, and your kindness made sure no child felt left behind at Christmas. Our social workers witnessed firsthand the joy, relief, and gratitude these gifts brought—many mothers were moved to tears. Your thoughtfulness meant the world.”
— Women’s Legal Service Queensland

💚 Together, We Can Make a Difference

The Annual Giving Program is more than a Christmas tradition, it’s a reflection of the compassion that defines our API and canopy communities. Your generosity helps bring light to those experiencing difficult times and reminds them they are not alone.
