Change the life of a child in care
You can make a difference to the lives of children living in foster care by becoming a regular donor.
As a regular donor, your weekly, fortnightly, or monthly gift helps empower children in care with learning, life skills and confidence – but most importantly, it gives them the chance to change the direction of their life.
Together, we can join the fight in breaking the cycle of disadvantage experienced by more than 45,000 Australian children.
If you would like to support The Pyjama Foundation, but do not have time to volunteer every week, consider donating on a regular basis.
How your donation will help
Donations are crucial in order to maintain our Love of Learning Program for children in foster care. The difference you can make is immeasurable:
- Your donation will go towards giving a foster child his or her own very special Pyjama Angel. While the Pyjama Angels give their time freely, there are unfortunately expenses that the Pyjama Foundation incurs.
- Your donation will go towards the screening, training, recruiting and matching of Pyjama Angels with the children.
- It will also enable us to provide new books, puzzles, educational-based games and iPads for children in care so they can improve their learning outcomes and catch up with their peers.
- By making manageable monthly donations (around two coffees per week) you will be helping a foster child to change the direction of their life with learning, life skills and confidence.
- You will be helping The Pyjama Foundation to continue our life-changing work with children in foster care.

Hear from our Pyjama Heroes
“If a child is lucky enough to be supported by a Pyjama Angel, or touched by the Foundation in some other way, they will feel valued and loved. We want children everywhere to always feel valued and loved. We feel privileged to be given the opportunity to create magical sleepover party settings, providing an abundance of joy, laughter and memory making.
These children are our future and what better way to provide encouragement, love and support than through the support services provided by the Foundation. We know that our contributions over the years has contributed to the betterment of at least one child’s life. That’s thanks enough for us and we will continue to support this wonderful Foundation.”
Caroline & Melanie, Pyjama Heroes and SleepoversRus Owners
“The money will help children that are not as lucky as us. Oma says education is essential for goals that we may dream about as we get older. Foster children also have many dreams and goals.”
Millie 4, and Tom 6 – Pyjama Heroes (and compassionate children)
“These children have had a fragile start to their lives – if there’s a way to alleviate their burden, and help them to become loved, valued and feel supported people – then I want to be part of it. Knowledge is power and without education, these children are at risk of following a rough cycle of disadvantage.
I don’t have the capacity to volunteer, so I know that making a regular gift is the least I can do to help change the life trajectory of a child in care.”
Stephanie – Pyjama Hero
“The Pyjama Foundation has been part of our lives since 2008. We love what The Pyjama Foundation does and we wanted to help the Foundation growing into the future. We want more children to receive the love of learning with their own Pyjama Angel.”
June and Richard, Pyjama Angel and Pyjama Heroes
