Help Bring Hope and Joy This Christmas
The Ballarat Christmas Appeal, proudly supported by 3BA FM 102.3 and managed by the Ballarat Foundation, raises vital funds to support individuals and families experiencing hardship during the festive season.
Since its inception in 1980, the appeal has provided millions of dollars in support to people across the Ballarat region.
Funds raised are distributed directly to local charities delivering frontline assistance, including: The Salvation Army, Uniting Ballarat, St Vincent de Paul, Ballarat and
Anglicare Ballarat.
These trusted organisations provide emergency relief such as food, toys, clothing, and essential items to ensure no one is left behind at Christmas.
The Ballarat Foundation is a registered DGR1-status philanthropic organisation. In partnership with generous individuals, businesses, and the community, we coordinate this appeal to bring hope where it’s needed most. This appeal is proudly supported by 3BA 102.3FM.
