Australia, 19 February 2026: The digiDirect Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The digiDirect Group, has raised $265,000 for charity at its annual fundraising Golf Day event, with over 150 business and industry leaders coming together to support the causes of a number of important organisations.
The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) was the featured charity partner at the event, which took place at St Michael’s Golf Course at Little Bay in Sydney. Proceeds from the fundraiser will enable the ILF to support its mission to increase literacy and accessibility of reading materials for the Indigenous community and the preservation of Indigenous languages, including underprivileged families and those living in remote locations.
The Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation (SCHF) and Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST) will also receive donations from The digiDirect Foundation to help provide necessary funds for the critical services they provide.
Ben Bowen, CEO of the ILF, The Hon. Kristina Keneally OAM, CEO of the SCHF and Aviv Palti, CEO of the CRST, were among the guests in attendance to accept the donations on behalf of their institutions.
Since its launch in early 2025, The digiDirect Foundation has now raised more than $1,000,000 for a number of charities, aligning with its mantra to support a range of causes and initiatives that will have a tangible impact on the lives of many.
Shant Kradjian, CEO and Founder of The digiDirect Group and The digiDirect Foundation, said: “It is a privilege to be able to support such important organisations that will benefit the health, education and development of our next generation, a cause very close to the hearts and minds of our staff and partners. Delivering a positive and meaningful impact for the communities we serve is of the utmost importance to us and we will continue to work hard to achieve that in years to come.”
Canon Australia was the event’s Major Sponsor for the fourth consecutive year, joined by Key Sponsors, Sony Australia and Fujifilm Australia.
Additional supporting sponsors included PwC, Gigabyte, Perfect Autobody, FHS Prolink, Antec, CR Kennedy, Nikon, Panasonic, OM Digital Solutions, Viltrox, Logitech, BlueChip IT, Blonde Robot, Lifestyle Brands, Leica, RiseCon, Hamptons Sydney and Pierge.
