 Outward Bound has been changing the lives of Australians now for 50 years. In 2007/08 almost 5000 people have participated in an Outward Bound course and of these, over 500 young Australians will have benefited from an Australian Outward Bound Development Fund (AOBDF) scholarship.
These scholarships have enabled young Australians from regional communities and disadvantaged backgrounds to attend one of our youth leadership courses, regional community programs or staff training scholarships. We have achieved this by working closely with other organisations such as: The Country Education Foundation of Australia, The Smith Family, Reach and many of our regional Lions clubs. However, the major share of the scholarship funding has again been provided by the generous support of the friends of Outward Bound. |

The Australian Outward Bound Development Fund (AOBDF) was established in 1999. It is a Public Benevolent Institution (PBI) as well as being endorsed as an Income Tax Exempt Charity (ITEC) and a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR). Financial assistance is granted on the understanding that the applicant makes a contribution in an amount he or she can afford. This will either constitute part of the course fee or be channeled directly to the AOBDF as a (nonrefundable) donation, establishing a commitment to attend and introducing the recipient to the "circle of giving", by assisting another in similar need. The AOBDF is generously supported by individuals, trusts, and organisations and supports programs and projects of Outward Bound Australia including Regional Partnerships and Community Partnerships through the Community Fund, Individual Scholarships through the Participant Fund and Staff Scholarships through the Staff Fund. Such partnerships and scholarships have allowed over 2000 young people since 1999 to have an otherwise unafordable or unattainable Outward Bound Outdoor Education and adventure style personal development experience. Outward Bound is about building stronger communities by inspiring the new generation.
