About Us
The Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited will provide scholarships for young emerging athletes, male and female, across all sports from the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia to assist in their endeavours to become a successful sports person.
Donnica had a simple philosophy to life and competition and it was at the tender age of 13 that she said in an interview with NBN television:
"Just keep trying; you'll always get there eventually.
"It doesn't matter if you are not top of the group you're always out there trying."
With that in mind the Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited's aim is to raise and distribute funds to support young athletes from the Central Coast.
This philosophy is based around providing assistance to those young athletes who demonstrate the ability but may not have the financial support to pursue the pathway to becoming a successful athlete in their chosen sport.
Scholarships will be decided by the Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited Board of Directors, after applications have been given due diligence, and be awarded in the month of April of each year commencing in 2009. Applications will be called for in September and will close on December 20.
Fundraising will be conducted by the Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited on an ongoing basis with the number of scholarships awarded to reflect the Foundations income.
The Donnica Clarke Foundation Limited (ABN – 161 29 004 860) is a public not for profit company limited by Guarantee.
