Days Left to Donate
Oaktree is at risk of closing its doors.
Young people are ready to lead. Will you back them?
For over 20 years, Oaktree has stood beside young changemakers, building a movement for a just and sustainable world.
But now, Oaktree is the one at risk of being left behind.
Once fuelled by a thriving youth network and the Live Below the Line campaign, Oaktree helped launch leaders who now head up NGOs across Australia and supported youth-led action from Timor-Leste to Pakistan. We broke down barriers to funding, shifted power to young people, and proved that young people can lead global change.
But after COVID, the world changed. Funding dried up. Donations fell. Last year, the campaign that once raised over $1 million a year brought in just $6,000. Now, Oaktree faces the real possibility of closing its doors.
We do not want to disappear quietly. Because we know the work is not done.
Your donation today will help save Oaktree, keeping youth-led organisations funded, and protecting critical programmes in education, mental health, and climate justice.
Together, we can give this movement a second chance.
