Endeavour Foundation - Cannon Hill

We believe in people, their ability to achieve ambitions, their right to social and economic participation, and their often-unrecognised contribution to our communities.
We’re passionate about building a brighter future for all, every day. Our purpose is to make possibilities a reality for more than 4 million people with a disability living in Australia. This is the driving force behind everything we do, and our dedication remains as strong as ever.
Our story began more than 70 years ago, at a time when people with disability had few opportunities. Endeavour Foundation was born from the voices of parents who fought tirelessly for their children to have access to education and opportunity. The courage and tenacity of these founding families remain our guiding light as we champion a better future for people with disability.
