How much goes to the charity?

yourtown’s services are predominantly funded by one of the largest and longest-running charitable Art Unions in Australia.

In the 2017-18 financial year, yourtown contributed more than $50 million to providing crucial services for young people across Australia and more than $1 million was allocated to advocating for positive systemic change.

Many people don’t realise that yourtown buys properties which become our stunning luxury prize homes. We do not usually have property donated. While the costs of running a luxury art union are higher than other fundraising activities, many of our services would not exist without these vital funds. In the 2017-18 financial year, yourtown Art Unions contributed $19.5 million back into the Australian community.

In the same year, yourtown received $3.6 million in donations through its campaigns from community and corporate fundraising activities (not including the Art Union), which means 81% of these funds go directly to the services we provide.
