The Fraser Foundation

1st June 2022

We love celebrating the passions of Elston clients like Jae Fraser. Jae is an educator, a philanthropist and an inspiration to a new generation of teachers.

As a boy, Jae knew that he wanted to be a teacher. But money was tight and getting to university wasn’t an easy pathway for him. Fortunately, with strength and determination, and his mother’s encouragement, he did achieve his dream.

For Jae, teaching is more than a career, it’s a vocation. He believes that teachers give children purpose and help set them up for future success.

He also knows that it is an incredible honour to be entrusted with educating and caring for our children, and society needs to find and nurture the very best people for this role.

Unfortunately, many people who would make great teachers face barriers that prevent them from pursuing studies. That’s why Jae established the Fraser Foundation.

The Foundation aims to remove those barriers and provide tailored scholarships to aspiring Early Learning Educators. The Fraser Foundation is a private ancillary fund that Elston helped Jae to establish in 2021. It not only allows Jae to give back, it also accepts donations from the public.

The Fraser Foundation is making a real difference in the lives of aspiring educators, and the children they will teach. To learn more, visit thefraserfoundation.com.au
