Using the Google Adwords Grant to increase donation revenue, newsletter sign-ups and raise awareness of the issues.

Background

One in 10 Australian children are living in jobless families*, where even life’s basics are hard to come by. When families are experiencing financial disadvantage children can fall behind with their learning, leaving them more vulnerable to experiencing hardship themselves later in the life. The Smith Family are dedicated to helping children receive the education that they’re entitled to. They do this by raising awareness of the issues impacting children, working with the government and encouraging the Australian public to donate in order to support programmes that deliver education.
