*Matched giving disclosure statement
All donations to Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight at donatetovision.com between 8:00pm 24 December 2025 and 11:59pm AEDT 24 December 2025 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $500,000 thanks to the generosity of our matching donors. Once the $500,000 matching pool is exhausted, donations will continue to support Vision Australia’s children’s services but will not be matched. If community donations do not reach the full $500,000 pool, the matching donors have agreed to donate unspent funds to the campaign. In the unlikely event the matching donors cannot fulfil their pledge, all donations will still be directed to Vision Australia’s children’s services and donors will be informed transparently. The donors providing the matching funds have given written consent for their gift to be used in this way, and where recognition is provided, it is with their explicit permission. Vision Australia manages all donor information securely in line with the Australian Privacy Principles and the FIA Code of Conduct. This appeal has been developed in accordance with the Fundraising Institute Australia’s Matched Giving Practice Note (July 2025).

— Lauren, Eddy’s mum
