Located in Balwyn, some programs of the nonprofit are subsidised through fundraising and community donations… > [@](#): > > … “The Bennelong Foundation currently supports the centre through the provision of a scholarship for one of the children involved in our programmes,” said [Mary Muirhead, Director of _Learning for Life_]. “A scholarship is a great opportunity for the charity to see first-hand the child’s development through our programmes and the impact their support is having on the quality of life of the child and their family. Learning for Life and the sponsored family would like to thank the Bennelong Foundation for their generous support, which will change the life of a child and allow him to reach his full potential, giving hope to the family.”… Here is a link to photos of the ‘Kwiz for the Kidz 2013’, an event held to raise money for intensive early intervention programs for preschool children on the Autism Spectrum: [https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151590294863619.1073741829.274460603618&type=1](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151590294863619.1073741829.274460603618&type=1) (source: [Learning for Life Autism Centre: Bennelong Foundation’s charity in focus - Bennelong Funds Management](http://www.bennfundsmanagement.com.au/editorials/view/31/learning-for-life-autism-centre-bennelong-foundations-charity-in-focus#.UZ2wf-0uJT5)) --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/specialisterne-leveraging-the-unique-skills-of-autistics-at-competitive-market-terms/50245)._
