Giving back,
out in the open.
The Community Fund pools donated affiliate rewards and channels them straight back into the community we support — equipment, respite, transport, learning and more. Every dollar in, and every dollar out, shown transparently.
A Yellowbird initiative, recognition-based — never an inducement, never tied to anyone's choice of provider.
Where it comes from
Yellowbird affiliates can donate their earned rewards to the fund instead of taking a payout. Those donations are tallied here automatically.
Where it goes
Straight back to participants, families and local programs as grants and scholarships — guided by what the community tells us matters most.
Why it's compliant
The fund is recognition-based and a Yellowbird initiative — not a registered charity. It is never offered to influence anyone's choice of provider, fully in line with the NDIS Code of Conduct.

Grow the fund as a Yellowbird affiliate
Affiliates earn 10% on courses and a fixed 5% on second-hand equipment sales, and can choose to donate their reward straight to the Community Fund. It's a simple way to turn a referral into real help for the community.
The Yellowbird Community Fund is a voluntary initiative of Yellowbird Enterprises Pty Ltd. It is not a registered charity and donations to it are not tax-deductible.
