Championing animal welfare education for real social change.

The Animal Welfare Foundation of Australia (AWFA) is a philanthropic fund led by  an absolute dedication to animal welfare and funded by savvy investment strategies. Since its inception over 20 years ago, AWFA’s profits have provided funding to develop the RSPCA’s Education Barn in Burwood where their team of educators lead the charge in enlightening children and in turn society with interactive teaching methods and utter devotion to the cause.

When developing the AWFA brand, we did everything possible to understand the foundation as it stood—interviews, site visits, shaking hands with the animals and all. Through our research, it became clear that the powerful connection we humans have with animals is the key concept underlying all things AWFA. Engaging with children and encouraging them to make these connections with animals is what establishes lasting values and respect for all creatures. This is AWFA’s legacy, and one we are proud to be a part of.
